THE GREAT BRITAIN BEOWULF AND DRAGON 2025 - 1 OZ

This is the third and final design in the third part of the Myths and Legends range of coins by the Royal Mint; it features legendary character Beowulf fighting the Dragon. Beowulf, the epic Old English poem, inspires the final bullion coin in our Myths and Legends Collection. This third and concluding coin in the Beowulf series depicts Beowulf's legendary battle against the dragon, a moment of courage and sacrifice that marks the end of his heroic journey. Beowulf, the longest-surviving poem in Old English, recounts the hero's final stand as a king, reminding us of the enduring power of loyalty, courage, and kinship that binds heroes to their people.
