All Myths and Legends Commemorative Coins
The legend of King Arthur is one of the most popular and well known in the canon of British mythology. We pay tribute to three of the myth’s central figures in a legendary commemorative coin range.
Made for a Mysterious Wizard |
As Arthurian legend has grown and evolved over the centuries, so too has the character of Merlin. In early chronicles, portrayals reveal him as a mysterious sorcerer, but in modern-day interpretations, particularly within American literature and popular culture, he is often perceived as an eccentric wizard serving as King Arthur’s trusted adviser. Now, Merlin becomes the second figure to feature on a commemorative coin in our collection inspired by British myths and legends. |
