1 oz 2022 Great Britain Myths and Legends: Maid Marian Gold Coin | The Royal Mint

Robin Hood is a legendary tale from English folklore that has been told around the world since the fourteenth century in the form of ballads, books, and films. While Robin Hood is well-known as a heroic outlaw that steals from the rich to give to the poor, Maid Marian is known as his trusted companion and a woman of the people. She helped to inform Robin Hood and his band of merry men throughout their adventures. While many iconic versions of this tale exist, the historicity of Robin Hood and his adventures continue to be debated to this day.
