♛ The Queen’s Rise to Power – A Legacy Thousands of Years Old

Chess originated from an ancient war game known as chaturanga, later becoming shatranj in Persia after 600 BC.
Originally, the piece now known as the queen was the farzin (vizier) — a weak advisor with limited movement.

As the game spread to Europe, the vizier evolved into the queen, eventually transforming into the most powerful piece on the board after 1475, gaining the ability to move:
• Vertically
• Horizontally
• Diagonally
• Any number of squares

This historic rise is honoured beautifully through the modern numismatic artistry of this coin.
