Comment
The fourth issue in the Myths & Legend series and the start of the second set within the series, the others being Merlin and Morgan le Fay. The coin continued to bear the image of The Queen in support of His Majesty the King's ambition for a sustainable transition. This ensured minimal environmental impact as the designs, tools and packaging for these products had already been produced.The coin was also issued in silver bullion, while the design was later used for proof issues in a variety of metals and denominations with the portrait to Charles III.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a posthumous portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, alongside an image of King Arthur, a legendary British leader known for his bravery and wisdom. The coin's design is a unique blend of history and mythology, making it a truly distinctive and collectible piece.
