One of the most recognisable figures in British mythology, Merlin is a timeless icon of Arthurian literature. Changing and evolving with the times from a druidic clairvoyant to a kingly guardian and an eccentric magician, the legendary sorcerer has been a ubiquitous character of lore since the Middle Ages. Boasting an enigmatic personality and extraordinary attributes, Merlin remains a favoured entity in literature, entertainment and pop culture to this day.
Royal Mint proudly celebrate this mythical character with a coin design by renowned artist David Lawrence.
