Journey back in time and discover the origins of Maid Marian, a beloved character whose earliest references can be traced to the mesmerizing medieval ballads and plays recounting the legend of Robin Hood. Unfolding during the 15th and 16th centuries, these ballads often portrayed her as a noblewoman, sometimes the daughter of a nobleman or knight, and frequently as the cherished love interest of Robin Hood.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2023 Maid Marian 10 oz Silver Coin showcases the bust of His Majesty King Charles III. The new monarch ascended the throne in September 2022, with his official coronation coming in May 2023. This first-ever portrait of the king comes from Martin Jennings.

Reverse

On the reverse, immerse yourself in the captivating depiction of Maid Marian herself. Across numerous retellings of the timeless Robin Hood legend, Maid Marian stands as Robin Hood’s cherished companion, sharing his passion for justice and freedom. Her portrayal ranges from a courageous and resourceful ally to a damsel in distress in need of rescue.

History

The Robin Hood ballads and other literary works, such as Walter Scott’s “Ivanhoe” (1819), have further contributed to the development and spread of Maid Marian’s legend. In “Ivanhoe,” Marian is depicted as the ward of the villainous Prince John, adding complexity to her character.
