Ravens, as birds, do appear in heraldry, and they can have various symbolic meanings, often associated with intelligence, foresight, and protection. Ravens are sometimes used as heraldic charges (symbols) in coats of arms.

Ardnamurchan is a peninsula located on the west coast of Scotland, extending into the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Highland council area and is known for its stunning natural beauty, diverse landscapes, and rich history.

The late 16th century was a turbulent time in Scottish history, marked by internal conflicts and external pressures. It was also a period when the power dynamics between clans and their relationships with the ruling authorities were shifting. The political and social landscape of the Highlands during this time was complex, and clashes between clans were part of the ongoing struggles for dominance.

The obverse design of the 1 oz Raven Silver Round features a coat of arms supported by a raven that includes a 16^th-century galleon at the center. This design reflects the story of the 1588 clash between clans from the Scottish Highlands. The MacLeans, with the purported assistance of 100 Spanish mercenaries from the San Juan De Sicilia, sacked several villages of the MacIans and McDonalds. After reinforcements from the latter two clans arrived, the MacLeans and Spanish retreated. It is said that in the days to follow, the San Juan De Sicilia was rocked by an explosion in the bay and sank.

On the reverse of Raven Silver Rounds is the common design element for the series. The design captures the image of an armored knight with a sword in his hand. The edge of the field features the series motto, inscribed as DESTINY IS NOT A MATTER OF CHANCE, IT IS A MATTER OF CHOICE.

These 1 oz Raven Silver Rounds are available to you in the Destiny Series. The rounds are packaged individually in plastic flips or by multiples of 20 rounds in protective tubes.
