Joan of Arc Legendary Warriors Series 1oz .999 Silver Medallion

Joan of Arc Legendary Warriors Series 1 Troy Ounce (oz) .999 Fine Silver Medallion (Round) - Single

As the seventh release in the exclusive Warrior Series this silver round features Joan of Arc. The first in the series is Eric Bloodaxe, the second being Julius Caesar, the third being Achilles, the fourth being Alexander The Great, the fifth being Genghis Khan, and the sixth being Geronimo. This round commemorates Joan of Arc, mostly being revered as a martyr, and viewed as an obedient daughter of the Roman Catholic Church, an early feminist, and a symbol of freedom and independence.

Joan of Arc was a peasant girl with no formal military training who played a crucial role in the Hundred Years’ War between England and France. Claiming to be guided by divine visions and saints, she persuaded Charles VII to let her lead French forces against the English. Her leadership and military achievements were instrumental in Charles VII’s coronation. Captured in 1430, Joan was handed over to the English and charged with heresy and witchcraft, ultimately leading to her execution by burning at the stake in 1431. She was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1920 and continues to be a symbol of courage, faith, and national pride in France.
