Totalling five unique designs, the series featured King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, Merlin, and Camelot Castle. This one shows King Arthur in the romantic style of a High Medieval British monarch: crowned, forward-facing, sword in one hand and globe in the other. Throughout his long history, Arthur has been considered to be a historical figure, a semi-mythical king, or an entirely fantastical folkloric hero off-and-on by various generations and schools of thought. He is sometimes tied to Roman Britain, to the 5th-6th century wars against the Saxons, or even to ancient Celtic gods who, not fully forgotten, were folded into Christian storytelling. In any case, his myth is one of those rare ones that has enjoyed almost continuous evolution: Arthur is reinvented for almost every period in British history, with some of his most recognizable characteristics coming from the Romantics and later Victorians. Today, he is widely recognized through novels like T.H. White's \u003ci\u003eOnce and Future King\u003c\/i\u003e and Mary Stewart's \u003ci\u003eThe Crystal Cave\u003c\/i\u003e, films like Disney's \u003ci\u003eThe Sword in the Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, and TV shows like the BBC's \u003ci\u003eMerlin\u003c\/i\u003e or Starz's \u003ci\u003eCamelot\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake a trip to Camelot with this highly collectible commemorative crown. Or don't. After all, 'tis a silly place.","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247746044193,"sku":"Nov.Week2.P1-KB3221","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/KB3221.jpg?v=1793909606","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/novw2-kb3221","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
