Merlin plays a crucial role in the story of the Sword in the Stone. He enchants the sword, Excalibur, and places it in a stone, declaring that only the true king of England will be able to pull it out. Arthur, as the rightful heir, successfully retrieves the sword with Merlin’s guidance.
Merlin is often involved in the quests undertaken by King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. His magical assistance and advice aid the knights in their endeavors, contributing to the overall theme of chivalry and heroism in the Arthurian legend.
The obverse of the 2023 1 oz Silver Merlin Coins includes a bust of His Majesty King Charles III. The King is shown here in left-profile relief without a crown on his head. Martin Jennings created this design for The Royal Mint in late-2022.
On the reverse of each 2023 British Silver Merlin Coin, you will find the image of the magician and wizard known as Merlin. Merlin is sometimes described as having the ability to shape-shift, allowing him to take on various forms. This characteristic adds to his mystical and enigmatic nature.
These 2023 1 oz British Silver Merlin Monster Boxes come with a total of 500 coins, each one in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are packaged inside the box in 20 individual tubes, with 25 coins per tube.
