The theme of this series is one that is surprisingly under-represented in numismatics, namely the Arthurian legends. Rich in detail, the story of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, Merlin and Excalibur have captivated people for over a thousand years. According to legend, King Arthur led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD. Geoffrey of Monmouths fanciful and imaginative 12th-century Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain) had Arthur establishing an empire over Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Norway and Gaul. Many elements and incidents that are now an integral part of the Arthurian story appear in Geoffreys Historia, including Arthurs father Uther Pendragon, the wizard Merlin, Arthurs wife Guinevere, the sword Excalibur, Arthurs conception at Tintagel, his final battle against Mordred at Camlann, and final rest in Avalon. Choice Mint has rapidly earned itself an enviable reputation among the legions of modern coin collectors. Australian Buyers: Please pay via direct bank transfer (preferred) or.
