The Story of Beowulf
Beowulf is one of the oldest known epics in English literature. The story follows the heroic deeds of Beowulf, a Geatish warrior who battles the fearsome monster Grendel and later, Grendel’s mother, to protect a kingdom plagued by these dark forces.
The Battle with Grendel’s Mother
After Beowulf defeats Grendel, the story intensifies as Grendel’s mother seeks vengeance
Their climactic battle is a moment of intense drama and heroism, immortalised on this gold coin. This legendary encounter symbolises courage and strength, core qualities that resonate deeply in British folklore.
Design and Craftsmanship
This coin’s reverse was designed by the talented artist David Lawrence, who brings to life the fabled encounter between Beowulf and Grendel’s mother.
