Sir Lancelot coin is the second issue of the new Camelot BU Edition series. Sir Lancelot, knight of the Round Table, is renowned for his bravery, combat skills and forbidden love for Queen Guinevere, which brings about the fall of Camelot. Raised by the Lady of the Lake, he participates in the quest for the Holy Grail, but his imperfection prevents him from reaching it. He is a central and tragic figure in the Arthurian legends.
 
Sir Lancelot, also known as Lancelot of the Lake, is one of the most prominent knights of the Round Table in the Arthurian legends. Son of King Ban of Benoic, he was raised by the magical Lady of the Lake, who taught him chivalric virtues. Renowned for his bravery, loyalty and skill in combat, he is considered the most powerful of the knights of Camelot.
 
However, his life is marked by tragedy because of his forbidden love for Queen Guinevere, King Arthur’s wife. This romance, though passionate, sparks internal strife in Camelot and contributes to its downfall.
 
Lancelot also participates in the quest for the Holy Grail, but, although he is a great knight, his love for Guinevere and his personal failings prevent him from attaining it. It is his son, Sir Galahad, who achieves the goal, standing out as the purest knight.
 
Sir Lancelot embodies the duality between the chivalric ideal and human weaknesses, being a complex, heroic and tragic figure within Arthurian mythology.
 
The reverse of the coin shows Sir Lancelot, Queen Guinevere and several of Mordred’s knights attempting to assault her. Guinevere has been caught in the forest while strolling along a riverbank, when an adventurer named Lancelot, who was not yet a knight, nor did he know the Queen, King Arthur or Camelot, intercedes to protect her and save her from the attempted abduction by the knights of Mordred, former knight of the Round Table and current enemy of Camelot.
 
The obverse of the coin features the twelve coats of arms and the names of twelve houses of Camelot, Arthur Pendragon, King of Britannia, and the eleven most representative and famous knights of the Arthurian legends.
 
A premium blister Pack for the series. It's a full-color cardboard box with a metallic finish and with the main elements embossed. The interior includes the slot for the coin (with premium capsule), the numbered certificate of authenticity with the specifications and our security hologram.
