Comment
First in a series of 3 bullion issues, the others being Maid Marian and Little John. The design was also issued in 1oz silver bullion, 1oz gold bullion and 1oz platinum bullion.This strike was issued after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II but the design 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.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design depicting Robin Hood, a legendary outlaw from English folklore, on the reverse side, while the obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it is not intended for general circulation and is instead produced for collectors and investors. Additionally, it is made of platinum, which is a rare and valuable precious metal, and has a high level of purity at .9995.
