2021 1oz Great Britain Myths & Legends - Robin Hood .999 Silver BU Coin

2021 1 oz Great Britain Myths & Legends - Robin Hood .999 Silver BU Coin

The first release in the Royal Mint's Myths & Legends series features the legendary Robin Hood. 

Centuries after his tales were first told around British campfires and hearths, The Royal Mint is celebrating the legendary hero Robin Hood. The iconic character, who famously stole from the rich to give to the poor, appears on the first coin in a new bullion collection inspired by myth and legend. The hero of folklore will soon be followed by two more coins inspired by the tale, featuring the courageous heroine Maid Marian and Robin Hood’s trusted companion Little John.

Passed along through the oral traditions of the time, stories of this heroic rebel have been spread far and wide since the fourteenth century. Robin Hood was often described as a great archer, and Jody Clark’s depiction of the character features him hidden amongst the branches of Sherwood Forest, poised with a bow and arrow ready for action.

Struck in 999 fine silver, each one ounce coin is finished to The Royal Mint’s bullion standard, and is also available as a one ounce gold edition.

• First in a new series
• Contains 1oz of .999 silver

Each coin is presented in a protective acrylic capsule.
