However, no war was ever won by kings, queens and generals alone! Far from being mere fodder for more powerful pieces, the forward-marching Pawn is the basis for attack, vital in dictating the strategy of a game, and crucial to gaining a foothold in the centre of the board. In addition, the concept of ‘promotion’ – where a Pawn can transform into a stronger piece, such as a Queen, if it crosses the entire board – embodies ambition and potential, and the idea that anyone can rise from humble beginnings to greatness through persistence and strategy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: _Hlk200286055;\"\u003eCapturing the strength, discipline and resilience of the soldier of the chessboard, this official legal tender issue is an exquisite work of numismatic art. Struck from 99.9% pure silver, and enhanced with a rich Black Proof finish, each coin depicts a row of pawns standing upon the chequered patterns of a chessboard, ready for battle. The perfect finishing touch, the Pawn in the foreground carries a sword with a Pawn-shaped handle, and wears a decorative strap with a Pawn motif! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: _Hlk200286055;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWith the limited edition restricted to a mere 999 coins – each set within a plush case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity – don’t delay your order.
