Timeless British legend meets the best of British craftsmanship as the story of King Arthur inspires our other myths and legendary precious metal collection. The first coin in our second series of three Myths and Legends coins features King Arthur, a mythical figure often depicted as a fearless warrior, noble king and chivalrous leader of the Knights of the Round Table. A legend reimagined and retold over the ages, Arthur's story first appeared in the Welsh chronicles of the ninth and tenth centuries, and the legend's ambivalence continues to maintain its appeal. Illustrator David Lawrence has skilfully created a design with the legendary king at its epicentre, dressed in royal robes as he sits straddling a horse and brandishing Excalibur, his legendary sword. In the background is a recognisable Camelot, the legendary castle where the Knights of the Round Table held court. Each coin is struck in 999.9 fine gold and finished to The Royal Mint's bullion standard. The coin is also available as a one-ounce silver edition. Key Features.
