Throughout the ages wizards have been a steady part of cultural lore in societies around the globe. Known as warlock, mage, sorcerer or wizard, this were no mere mortals. Having access to magic derived from any number of sources, depending on the story being told, some wizards are pure supernatural while others seem entrenched in tales of evil and the occult.

Wizards are often central figures in fantasy literature or in movies and television shows that tell tales of magic and fantasy. Two of the most famously depicted wizards are Merlin from the stories surrounding King Arthur and of course Gandalf.

Each of the 2017 2 oz Reverse Proof Solomon Islands Legends and Myths Wizard coins features a double high-relief striking technique that gives the coins visual depth and 3D brilliance. The reverse proof finish lends a strong, frosted appearance to the background field and a deeply-mirrored, clear image to the design set.
