Merlin also holds a magical staff and has a golden sickle attached to his belt, which he uses for cutting misletoe in the sacred grove.Â

Design of the silver Merlin coin
Obverse
The obverse of the coin shows Merlin with Glastonbury in the background. An owl sits on Merlin's right shoulder, symbolizing his knowledge and wisdom. In addition, he holds a magical staff and a golden sickle is attached to his belt to cut the mistletoe in the sacred grove. All around you can see the inscriptions MERLIN - the name of the coin, 1OZ - the weight, FINE SILVER - the precious metal type, 999 - the purity, 2023 - the year of issue and D.L - the initials of David Lawrence, the designer of the coin.
Reverse
The reverse shows the effigy of Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings. Martin worked painstakingly for a year, alongside experts at the Royal Mint, to create the portrait of Charles on the front of the new coins. All around you can see the inscriptions MJ - the initials of Martin Jennings, CHARLES III - the name of the King, 2 POUNDS - the face value of the coin and D. G. REX F. D. - which means by the grace of God, King.Â
Story of Merlin
In the popular story of King Arthur and Merlin, Merlin took the young prince under his wing and, for safety reasons, had him raised with a simple family in a house somewhere in a forest. Merlin was Arthur's teacher and also his best student. Merlin taught Arthur a technique for pulling a stick out of a stone, a technique he would later unknowingly apply to the magical sword Excalibur. Arthur's father, before dying on the battlefield, had stuck the sword in a rock, predicting that whoever could pull the sword out would become king of all England.

Investment score
A B-rating indicates products that are still widely recognized and tradable worldwide, often issued by reputable mints or refiners. However, the price per gram or spread is generally slightly higher compared to A-rated products. While still suitable for investment purposes, they are not the most cost-efficient option available.
Label information
A-label

Less information
Products with an A-rating are among the most commonly traded and liquid options available. These coins and bars offer a strong balance between a competitive price per gram and a low spread, making them well-suited for investors who want to acquire physical gold or silver efficiently. Due to their global recognition, they are typically easy to buy and sell.
B-label
Read more
Less information
Een B-label staat voor producten die wereldwijd goed verhandelbaar zijn en afkomstig zijn van erkende munthuizen of raffinaderijen. De prijs per gram of de spread ligt echter doorgaans iets hoger dan bij A-label producten. Daarmee zijn ze nog steeds geschikt als belegging, maar minder optimaal voor wie puur kijkt naar kostenefficiëntie.
C-label
Read more
Less information
Products with a C-rating are primarily valued for their collectible characteristics. This may include limited editions, unique designs, or historical significance. As a result, their price is often less closely tied to the underlying metal value. These products are typically chosen by collectors rather than investors focused on efficiency.
