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 gold 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 unique design depicting King Arthur, a legendary British leader, on the reverse side, while the obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This combination of a historical figure with a current monarch is a distinctive aspect of this coin.
