1 oz Robin Hood 825th Anniversary Silver Coin 2019

The obverse

It shows the legendary Robin Hood in a very striking pose – either attacking or defending, depending on how you look at it. Equipped with two arrows and a bow, and clad in armour, he is in a forest, which is indicated by a few leaves surrounding him. In the 16th and 17th century, Robin Hood, the hero of English poetry and ballads, was considered a champion of justice for the poor and needy, who robbed the rich and then distributed the stolen goods to the poor.

The value side

Here you can see the equestrian seal of Leopold V, sitting on his horse, fully armoured with a shield and thus ready for battle. His likeness is surrounded by the inscription ‘REPUBLIC OF AUSTRIA’. At the bottom you can see the nominal value ‘1.50’ and the year of issue ‘2019’. Below that you can read the currency ‘EURO’ and the denomination ‘1 UNCE FINE SILVER’. This coin from the ‘Austrian Mint’ is limited to 83,000 pieces and has a fine weight of 31.1035g.
