I recently received a pair of Merlin 1oz silver coins from the Royal Mint, a part of their Myths and Legends collection.
Merlin the magician
Merlin the magician is a part of the King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table legend, he was an advisor to King Uther Pendragon, and eventually an advisor to King Uther's son King Arthur. He kept Arthur safe until it was time for him to claim his seat as King at the Round Table, after pulling the sword from the stone. A sorcerer and a prophet, Merlin has also been linked with Myrddin in the Welsh tradition, Merlin's recognition is on par with King Arthur's.
Merlin 1oz Silver Coin
This 1oz pure silver Merlin coin is from the Royal Mint, from their Myths and Legends collection, from the King Arthur stories.
The front side of the coin features Merlin casting a spell with his outstretched hand, an owl perched on his shoulder. He holds a staff in his right hand, a crescent moon on his headband. Clouds, Camelot, and the moon are in the background, his cloak cuff is decorated with suns, stars, and moons. Along the top curve of the coin is the text "MERLIN 1OZ FINE SILVER 999 2023".
The back side of the coin has the head of King Charles III, he became King of England on September 8, 2022, this coin is from 2023.
Along the outer curve of the coin backside is the text "CHARLES III" followed by "D G REX F D", which stands for the Latin phrase "Dei Gratia Rex Fidei Defensor", which translates to "by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith". This text is followed by the denomination of "2 POUNDS".
I have the 2023 King Arthur 1oz Silver coin to pair up with this Merlin. I'll have to keep watch for the Lady Guenivere of this collection, fine silver coins for the stack.
"Klattu Veratta Nickto!" Sorry, wrong movie.
Lol, though robot Gort has the resurrection skills :D
That's a magical coin
Beautiful coin!
They did a great job with Merlin in action, much to look at :)
I was going to start that series…..but I’ve got too many going. Nice pick up
King Arthur and Merlin stories I grew up with, so I had to snag these ones :)
These coins are so cool.
I'm going to have to start looking into getting some of these lol.
It's fun stacking the silver, it's fun to pickup and your wealth is retained and protected from inflation, a win win :)
Nice looking coins. I love all that old medieval mythology.
The Royal mint does a good job with the details, I'm a fan of the mythical too :)
The details are unbelievable and a hand is always difficult but looking good.
Sometimes I'm surprised with the extra details I can see when I bring up the coin on the screen for a closer look :)
