Invest in the captivating allure of British folklore as Beowulf takes center stage in this new series of coins. The trilogy, dedicated to British myths and legends, commences with the iconic tale of Beowulf and his relentless battle against the monstrous Grendel.

Beowulf, the valiant protagonist of the Old English epic poem, emerges as one of the earliest heroes in English literature. The poem chronicles his courageous exploits as he aids Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, in vanquishing the dreaded Grendel. Renowned for his bravery and leadership, Beowulf’s saga unfolds through epic confrontations with Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and a fearsome dragon, culminating in his heroic demise.

Grendel, a malevolent creature with human attributes, stands as one of Beowulf’s primary adversaries. Descended from Cain, he wreaks havoc upon Hrothgar’s hall, driven by jealousy and rage. Beowulf’s triumph over Grendel incites further conflict as the vengeful mother of the slain monster seeks retribution.

Believed to originate between the eighth and eleventh centuries, the poem Beowulf, with its Christian allegory, adds depth to the timeless narrative of good versus evil.
