The Myths and Legends Series at the Royal Mint is a collection of three-coin issues celebrating mythology from the British Isles. Following the debut mini-series focused on Robin Hood, the second mini-series in the collection travels to Camelot to relive the splendor of King Arthurs legend. Today, you have the option to buy 2023 Proof British Merlin 1 oz Gold Coins online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The story of King Arthur is closely intertwined with the concept of the Round Table, which is said to have been a gathering place for Arthur and his knights. The Round Table was designed so that all the knights who sat at it had equal status, symbolizing the idea of chivalry and equality among the knights.
Obverse
The 2023 Proof Merlin 1 oz Gold Coins display King Charles III on the obverse in left-profile relief, facing the opposite direction of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Notably, he is portrayed without a crown as he succeeds her as the new monarch of England. Inscriptions read CHARLES III, D.G. REX. F.D., 100 POUNDS, and 2023.
Reverse
The 2023 Proof British Merlin Gold Coins showcase Merlin on their reverse design field. Merlin, who was the sole magical figure at the Round Table, played an instrumental role in King Arthur’s ascent to power and advised him throughout his reign. Inscriptions here include MERLIN, MYTHS AND LEGENDS, and 2023.
History
The first mini-series in the Myths and Legends collection featured Robin Hood, Maid Marian, and Little John. The next mini-series within the collection travels to the court of King Arthur. After Arthur himself debuted in the series, his trusted wizard Merlin now appears second.
