Chess has a rich history and has evolved many times to reach its modern form. Thought to have originated from a war game known as ‘chaturanga’, or ‘shatranj’, popular in southern parts of central Asia after 600 BC, chess spread to Europe via the Byzantine and Arabian Empires. ‘The knight’ is the only piece that can jump over other chess pieces. It is also the only piece that does not move in a straight line

The Black Proof silver coin was struck from one ounce of 99.9% silver and is dedicated to the Chess Queen. The queen in chess is the most powerful piece on the chessboard. She has the ability to move horizontally, vertically and diagonally across any number of squares. This versatility makes it a crucial component in many strategic considerations and attack patterns.

The motive features the majestic depiction of a queen with a sceptre. Her robe is decorated with chessboard patterns and she holds a unique fan made of chess pieces. Next to her is the inscription “QUEEN”. The reverse shows the portrait of King Charles III as well as the weight, fineness, denomination and year of issue. The Chess Queen silver coin in Black Proof is limited to only 999 pieces worldwide and is delivered in the original wooden box including a numbered certificate of authenticity.
