2024 Great Britain £2 1-oz Silver Myths and Legends: Morgan le Fay BU

Morgan le Fay Casts Her Spell On Third—And Final—Release In Myths And Legends Series

Long before J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy and George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series of novels there was Arthur Pendragon, a literary figure better known as King Arthur. With stories that date back to the late 5th and early 6th centuries, the epic fantasy tells the tale of the fabled king of England who formed a vast empire centered at his court at Camelot. While some historians believe Arthur was a real person, most agree that he was a mythological figure. Fact or fiction, the stories of King Arthur are still told and retold today as one of England’s greatest legends. Now, one of the most important characters from those stories has arrived in this the third—and final—release in Great Britain’s Myths and Legends series. It features King Arthur’s half-sister, Morgan le Fay, the beguiling enchantress who helped cause the fall of Camelot.

Enticing Design Captures Morgan le Fay’s Tantalizing Charms

Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver by Great Britain’s prestigious Royal Mint, this £2 legal-tender bullion coin features an enticing image of Morgan le Fay wearing a winged headpiece and poised to summon the forces of dark magic. A witch with beauty to spare, Morgan le Fay is often portrayed as a villain. Most of her villainy stems from her hatred of Queen Guinevere for her betrayal of Morgan and her lover, Guinevere's cousin Guiomar. With a burning desire to bring shame to Camelot, Morgan reported Guinevere’s illicit affair with Sir Lancelot to Arthur, setting in motion the ultimate downfall of her brother’s kingdom. Still capable of love, it is Morgan who arrives following the climactic Battle of Camlann and takes a mortally wounded Arthur to his final resting place in Avalon. It’s just one of the many Arthurian legends that have captivated fans of the mythical king in stories that have been passed down from generation to generation for more than 1,500 years.
