In 2012 the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Arthurian Legend Masterpiece High Relief Silver Medal struck in solid fine .999 Silver weighing eight ounces of pure Silver.
Arthurian Legend is woven into the folklore of our island nation yet centuries after Arthur’s time, literary invention is more easily discovered than historical fact. The reverse depicts Arthur as a wounded and defeated King offering his sword Excalibur to his Knight Bedivere. In the background appear Arthur’s wife Guinevere embracing Lancelot and Arthur’s half-sister Morgana holding her staff with a raven atop. The obverse of the medal depicts Arthur as a Warrior King defeating the Saxons as Merlin stands in the background.
The battlefield is shown with mist and smoke rising into the air and the dragon flags planted by the cavalry symbolizing victory. The accompanying booklet features a wealth of scholarly insights from eminent historians Sean Davies and Karen Jankulak.
