2023 GB £5 MERLIN 1 oz. Silver MYTHS & LEGENDS SERIES Elizabeth II Wizard Magic

Description: MERLIN #2 in MYTHS AND LEGENDS SERIES Merlin was a powerful sorcerer who played a key role in the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. He was said to have been born to a mortal woman and a demon,which gave him magical powers and the ability to see into the future. Merlin's traditional biography casts him as an often-mad being, born from a virgin woman and sired by an incubus, from whom he inherits his supernatural powers and abilities, most commonly and notably prophecy and shapeshifting. Merlin matures to an ascendant sage hood and engineers the birth of Arthur through magic and intrigue. Later stories have Merlin as an advisor and mentor to the young king until his disappearance from the tale, leaving behind a series of prophecies foretelling the events yet to come. A popular version from the French prose cycles narrates Merlin being bewitched and forever sealed or killed by his student known as the Lady of the Lake, after falling in love with her. This second design in the MYTHS AND LEGENDS moves into a new generation in 2023 as the Royal Mint transitions from its last images of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse to the new portrait of King Charles III.
