Comment
One of twenty-six 10 pence coins in the Quintessentially British A to Z collection featuring a different letter to represent and celebrate different British landmarks and traditions. According to legend, King Arthur lived in the mythical city of Camelot and formed a Round Table of some 150 knights. His existence has been widely debated, all that is known, with even the least degree of certainty, is that a man named Arthur, or Arturus, led a band of heroic warriors who spearheaded the resistance of Britons against the invading Saxons, Jutes, and others from the north of Europe, sometime in the fifth and sixth centuries AD.Issued individually (issue limit: 15,000) as well as in a case with all 26 letters (issue limit: 200). The design was also struck in nickel plated steel.
