Silver Ten Ounces 2023 Myths and Legends - Robin Hood: Maid Marian, Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information

Like many other mints, the Royal Mint issues bullion coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. The ten ounce (10 oz) silver coins are denominated as ten pounds (£10).

The coins are legal tender but are not intended for circulation. They are targeted at bullion investors or collectors who appreciate the special editions as pieces of art. The coins are typically "one-year" types usually issued in parallel with smaller denominations with the same reverse designs.

This is the second design in the Myths and Legends range of bullion coins by the Royal Mint; the first one featured Robin Hood.

The Mint says about the coin:
Part of our bullion coin collection that commemorates British myths and legends, this bullion coin celebrates Maid Marian, the quick-witted and adventurous companion of Robin Hood. The legend of Robin Hood and his band of merry men on their adventures in Sherwood Forest has been passed down through generations, and Maid Marian has been a central figure in the legend. She is sometimes described as a woman of high stature but always a woman of the people.

This 2023-dated bullion coin features Jody Clark’s depiction of Maid Marian where she is presented amongst the greenery of Sherwood Forest, poised for action as she observes her surroundings with a bow and a quiver of arrows on her back. Struck in ten ounces of 999.9 fine silver, the 2023 coin is finished to The Royal Mint’s bullion standard.
