Description
With many tales and incarnations of the legend Robin Hood, who allegedly took from the rich to give to the poor, appears on the first coin in a three-part collection inspired by British myths and legends.
The legendary hero of the people will soon be followed by two more coins inspired by the tales of his Merry Men, featuring the courageous Maid Marian followed by Robin Hood’s trusted companion Little John. Since the thirteenth century, stories of this heroic outlaw have grown, spreading across the world and embedding him in popular culture through the silver screen in the twentieth century.
On the reverse of this coin, Jody Clark’s depiction of Robin Hood, who has often been described as a great archer, shows the hero hidden amongst the branches of Sherwood Forest, poised with a bow and arrow, ready for action.
