The Royal Mint has launched a range of collector coins which is part of the popular “Myths and Legends” series. The set for 2023 begins with a design honouring the legendary King Arthur, the fabled leader of the Knights of the Round Table. The second commemorative coin pays tribute to Merlin, the prophetic sorcerer and trusted adviser to King Arthur. Morgan le Fay follows King Arthur and Merlin to feature on the third and final coin inspired by Arthurian legend in our Myths and Legend Collection.
First appearing in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Vita Merlini, which followed his seminal Historia Regum Britanniae (or The History of the Kings of Britain), Morgan le Fay is a central character within Arthurian legend.
