This is the third coin in the 3rd Myths & Legends series (Beowulf), Beowulf & The Dragon. As legend goes, after battling Grendel and Grendel’s Mother, Beowulf becomes the King of the Geats and 50 years pass. A local dragon is angered when a slave takes a chalice from its’ treasure and attacks the nearby towns as revenge. When Beowulf and his troops arrive at the Lair, Beowulf goes in alone and becomes mortally wounded. His Kingsman Wiglaf comes to his aid and cuts the dragons belly, for Beowulf to strike the fatal blow. Nominating Wiglaf as his heir with his final breaths, this is where Beowulf’s story ends.
