DESCRIPTION
After the defiant spirit of William Wallace, Legends of Battlefield advances to its second chapter with Richard the Lionheart — king, crusader, and enduring figure of medieval warfare.
Crowned as a king, yet remembered as a warrior, Richard I turned royal power into an image of command, honor, and crusader resolve. The Lionheart became more than a name. It became the mark of a ruler whose presence could rally armies and outlive empires.
Struck from 2 oz of .999 fine silver with an antique finish, this issue gives the crusader king a realistic high-relief presence. Digital printing, digital gilding, and selective polishing intensify the heraldic power of the design, where silver, red, and gold meet in a striking composition.
Some names live in chronicles. Others are struck in precious metal. Limited to only 500 pieces worldwide, Richard the Lionheart gives the Legends of Battlefield collection a powerful second release — made for collectors drawn to kingship, valor, and the names history refuses to forget.
