Legend – Maid Marian

The obverse of this 2022 Great Britain Gold and Ruthenium Myths & Legends: Maid Marian 1oz Silver BU coin displays the right-facing effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, created by Jody Clark. Inscriptions include “ELIZABETH II D. G. REG. F. D. 2 POUNDS.” This entire side is ruthenium-plated.

NOTE: This piece is no longer legal tender because it is an altered version of the original “legal tender,” enhanced by a private mint that is in no way affiliated with the British Royal Mint.

The reverse features a wonderful scene of Maid Marian in Sherwood Forest, hidden by the dense vegetation and trees. The quiver on her back is full of arrows as she keeps watch. The legend of Robin Hood has much to say concerning Maid Marian. She is not only represented as fearless, but also as fine an archer as Robin himself. Marian is often depicted as a spy, who reports to Robin of the movements and threats of the Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin’s arch enemy. And, of course, over time, Maid Marian becomes the true love of Robin.

The background texture is plated with ruthenium, while Maid Marian and the inscriptions are gold-plated. Inscriptions encircling the rim “MAID MARIAN . 1 OZ . FINE SILVER . 999 . 2022”. The designer’s initials (JC) are displayed at the bottom right in very small letters. The overall design is extremely-well presented and the gold and ruthenium plating adds new depth and atmosphere to the coin.
