📖 Story / Theme – Merlin
Merlin is one of the most celebrated figures in British mythology, known as the mystical sorcerer and trusted advisor to King Arthur.
Associated with wisdom, prophecy, magic, and guidance, Merlin has appeared throughout centuries of literature, folklore, and legend. His connection to Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table has cemented his place as one of mythology’s most enduring characters.
The Royal Mint’s Myths & Legends Collection honours these legendary figures through masterfully crafted precious metal coinage.
🎨 Design Description
The reverse features a skilful reinterpretation of Merlin created by illustrator and experienced coin designer David Lawrence.
Merlin is portrayed as a mystical figure accompanied by an owl resting upon his shoulder — symbolising wisdom, knowledge, and foresight.
The proof finish enhances the intricate detailing of the design, creating striking contrast between frosted elements and mirror-like fields.
The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II together with the denomination, confirming the coin’s legal tender status.
