The Royal Mint is among the most well-known mints in the world. The Royal Mint is known for its unique array of coin programs such as the Britannia Series, Tudor Beasts Series, and Queen’s Beasts Series. Another popular collection is the Myths and Legends Series which showcases iconic figures from classic tales. Learn more about the Royal Mint Myths and Legends Series, right here at Provident Metals.
As the series name suggests, the Myths and Legends Series features popular figures from timeless myths and legends. Coins are issued in several sizes in both silver and gold, with BU and proof strikes being made available.
What makes the series unique is that coins are released in 3-coin sets with each mini-series focusing on a different story. Each coin displays the reigning British monarch on the obverse with each unique legend on the reverse.
The first 3 designs in the series showcase the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, while designs after the initial 3 display King Charles III.
The first mini-series focuses on the tale of Robin Hood. The story of Robin Hood is well-known as it’s been portrayed countless times in literature and cinema. Dating back to the 13th century AD, Robin Hood (a skilled archer and swordsman) is known to steal from the wealthy and redistribute the wealth to the poor. Designs in this mini-series feature the following:
