The Battle of Hastings 1066 1oz Silver Proof Coin

 

Focussing on five notable engagements that changed the course of history, The Perth Mint’s Famous Battles Series portrays battlefield scenes spanning more than two millennia.

 

Third Release - Battle of Hastings 1066

 

The third release from this popular five-coin series marks a pivotal moment in English history.  In 1066, William Duke of Normandy’s fleet landed near Hastings where it engaged King Harold’s foot-weary army, recently returned from conflict in the north.  A fierce battle raged for much of the day until the persistence of William’s soldiers eventually succeeded in breaking through the English lines.  During the mêlée, Harold was struck in the eye by a Norman arrow, a fatal blow depicted in the 11th century Bayeaux Tapestry. 

 

Proof Quality 99.9% Pure Silver

 

The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality.

 

Coloured Reverse Design

 

The coin’s reverse, which includes The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, portrays a coloured depiction of the Battle of Hastings as it was recorded in the historic Bayeaux Tapestry.  Struck elements of the silver proof release’s reverse portray a Norman knight, a Norman helmet and a Saxon long-handled axe. 

 

Issued as Legal Tender

 

Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the coin bears the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on its obverse.

 

Extremely Limited Mintage

 

The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of these coins.

 

Presentation Packaging

 

Each coin is housed in a presentation display case and superbly illustrated shipper.

 

Certificate of Authenticity

 

Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
