The Royal Mint, UK has released the third coin in its new range of collector coins titled - “Myths and Legends,” which was first released in 2021 year as a Bullion Coin Series.

The Reverse of the Silver 2 & 5 UKP (UK Pounds) and Gold 25 & 100 (UK Pounds) Bullion Coins placed against a background image of the aftermath of the Battle of Camlaan, with Arthur mortally wounded and Morgan and two other Queens come to take Arthur to his last resting place in Avalon. A boat awaits in the background to ferry them to Avalon.

The third Coin and last Coin in the Series depicts Morgan le Fay ("Morgan the Fairy") the half-sister of King Arthur, the antagonist of King Arthur — Morgan le Fay.

The two previous coins were on King Arthur himself and Merlin the Wizard.

Morgan le Fay was an enchantress and a “Fay” (meaning a “sorceress”).

She is Arthur’s half-sister, the daughter of his mother Igraine, the mother of Arthur and her first husband Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall, as such, Arthur was her half-brother.

She often shown at the fringes of the Arthurian court, plotting its downfall.

She becomes an apprentice to Merlin and a vindictive adversary of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, with a special hatred for Guinevere.

In some accounts, she is married to Merlin, and they have 12 children.

She is mentioned in some accounts as an archenemy of Merlin.

Morgan le Fay became a staple figure of the Arthurian legends, and her relationship with Arthur has varied over the centuries.

As a love interest of Merlin, he taught her his craft, to which Morgan was a very good student and soon became a powerful sorceress herself.

One particular chapter tells of how Morgan le Fay steals the Excalibur sword and gives it to her lover, Accolon, intending that they overthrow King Arthur and rule in his place.

Thwarting the scheme, Arthur recovers the sword, but she steals its magical scabbard, which has healing properties, indirectly contributing to Arthur’s fatal wounding in his final battle at Camlaan.

In a chapter of the myth, Morgan sends the Green Knight into Arthur’s court in the hopes that Queen Guinevere will be frightened to death.

The Green Knight was described as a mysterious and imposing figure who dares any knight to strike him with his axe if he will take a return blow “in a year and a day.”

The Arthurian legend ends with Morgan, dressed in a black hood, taking the dying Arthur to his final resting place in Avalon.

She became an indirect instrument in Arthur’s death and that of his knights in the Battle of Camlaan, though she is filled with remorse and is one of the three queens who take Arthur on his final journey to Avalon.

Her own end is ambiguous as she is described as a figure in folklore who doesn’t belong to the world of the dead nor the world of the living.

Some Arthurian Legend Books in my personal library:

“The Mammoth Book of Merlin” (revealing the magic of 24 binding tales from the time of King Arthur’s Camelot) in my personal library.

This book contains 24 different stories by different authors on various episodes in Merlin, the wizard’s life and his interactions with King Arthur.

“I am Morgan le Fay – A tale from Camelot” by Nancy Springer (Published in 2002).
