Shields have played a crucial role throughout history in various cultures and periods, serving as essential defensive tools in battle. However, a shield could also play a role in symbolism and identity during battle. Shields often had cultural or symbolic significance. They were adorned with emblems, colors, or symbols representing the soldier's allegiance, unit, or nation. This helped in easily identifying friend from foe on the battlefield. Right now, 1 oz Shield Silver Rounds are available for purchase from JM Bullion.
Round Highlights:
Each 1 oz Shield Silver Round offered here comes from the Destiny Series of silver rounds. These silver rounds are packaged individually in protective flips or by multiples of 20 in acrylic tubes.
In ancient times, shields were one of the primary means of personal protection in hand-to-hand combat. Soldiers used shields to block and deflect incoming attacks, such as arrows, spears, and sword strikes. Even in the age of knights and plate armor, shields remained relevant. Knights used shields, often featuring their heraldic symbols, to protect themselves during mounted or dismounted combat. Shields were also used in tournaments for jousting and other competitions.
For the obverse of Shield Silver Rounds, the mint features a depiction of a wooden shield extended by the armored hand of a knight. The knight holds steady in battle, even as his shield is struck at the top by his enemy’s sword. The symbol on his shield’s interior face bears a Latin inscription of AUDENTES FORTUNA IUVAT, which translates as FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD.
In the reverse design of 1 oz Shield Silver Rounds, you will find the image of an armored knight holding a sword in his hand. This design element is common to all rounds in the series and is accompanied by an inscription of DESTINEY IS NOT A MATTER OF CHANCE, IT IS A MATTER OF CHOICE.
