R
ound Tuit Detail - Arthurian Version
Main Description
The original Arthurian Round Tuit gold medallions were almost identical in size to the replica brass versions that have been minted.
The medallions were around 45mm in diameter (1.8") and 3mm thick (0.12")
Of the 12 gold medallions originally minted, only two are known to survive to this day.
Details - Outer to Inner
The outer rim of the Arthurian Round Tuit contains four occurrences of the words 'Round Tuit'. Although this wording is now associated with a play on 'around to it', this was also another name for the round table around which the twelve nights met.
Moving further inside the design, we can see an image of King Arthur himself, with the words 'King Arthur above his head). The detail on the medallion is extremely impressive.
The whole of the inner portion of the design shows King Arthur and his twelve knights around the 'Round Tuit' (round table), with a central rose and smaller roses in each segment.
The alternating raised and embossed segments, and details within, produces a striking effect on the gold (and brass replica) medallions.
The images shown are actual photographs of the brass reproduction for sale as beautiful medallions on this web site. Not only do these images show the intricate detail found on the original - they also show how the detail has been lovingly recreated in the medallion.
