This beautiful 1 oz Silver coin is the new issue in the "Gold Ruthenium" series, featuring the King Arthur. The coin has beautiful selective Gold and Ruthenium plating and comes in a box, along with the Certificate of Authenticity. Limited mintage of only 200 pieces worldwide!   King Arthur was a legendary Celtic Briton who, according to medieval histories and romances, was leader of the Celtic Britons in battles against Saxon invaders of Britain in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. Details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of Welsh mythology, English folklore and literary invention, and most historians of the period do not think that he was a historical figure. Arthur is first recorded in sources which date to 300 years after he is supposed to have lived, the Annales Cambriae and the Historia Brittonum.  The name, weight, year of mintage and the fineness of the metal are marked on the edges of the coin. The obverse features the image of Queen Elizabeth II and the face value of the coin.   The design of the coin is illustrative and may differ from the final result.
