The 2025 Beowulf & Grendel's Mother 1oz silver coins are part of The Royal Mint's Myths and Legends series, celebrating the legendary figures of British mythology. The reverse of the coin depicts Beowulf in battle with the monstrous Grendel's Mother, the second of three main antagonists. Grendel's Mother remains unnamed in the original Old English epic poem.
Beowulf is a central figure in historic English literature and is the most studied and translated Anglo-Saxon story. The origins of the epic poem are lost in time with the author known only as the 'Beowulf poet' and scholars arguing about how far back the story goes before the manuscript was written some time around 1,000 AD. The story is set in 6th century Scandinavia where Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of King Hrothgar whose mead hall Heorot has been under attack by the monster Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother takes revenge and is in turn defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland and becomes king of the Geats. Fifty years later, Beowulf defeats a dragon, but is mortally wounded in the battle.
Each 2025 Beowulf & Grendel's Mother 1oz silver coin contains one troy ounce of 999 fine silver and is struck to The Royal Mint's bullion standard. It is the second coin of a trio as part the Myths & Legends Beowulf series which we can assume feature the three great monsters which Beowulf defeats.
