LEGENDS OF CAMELOT

Second in Series of 6 coins, depicting characters from the lore of Camelot. This coin depicting Guinevere, crown on head in a pensive pose.  The background is a super mix of castle fortifications and a river. Only the coin title is inscribed on this face, keeping everything distraction-free.

The obverse is particularly clever. The Queens effigy that is required for Cook Islands issues, sits in the middle of the iconic Round Table as seen from above. Surrounding the table and set around the rim, are twelve knights, helmets in hand, and holding the swords inwards in the classic pose. Details are again, quite superb.

Guinevere

Guinevere was the wife of King Arthur, the legendary ruler of Britain. She was a beautiful and noble queen, but her life took a tragic turn when she fell in love with Lancelot, one of Arthur's bravest and most loyal knights. The relationship between the queen and Lancelot eventually destroyed the special fellowship of the Knights of the Round Table.

Guinevere was the daughter of King Leodegran of Scotland. Arthur admired the king's lovely daughter and married her in spite of a warning from his adviser Merlin that Guinevere would be unfaithful to him. As a wedding gift, Leodegran gave Arthur a round table that would play a central role in his court.
