Having said that, no war was ever won by kings, queens and generals alone! Indeed, far from being mere fodder for more powerful pieces, the forward-marching Pawn is the basis for attack, fundamental in shaping strategy, and crucial to securing a firm 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 reaches the opposite side of the board – symbolises ambition and potential, and the concept that anyone can rise to greatness through persistence and strategy. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStruck to Proof quality from 1oz of 99.99% gold and selectively plated in 99.95% platinum, this superbly designed coin captures the strength and discipline of the foot soldier of Chess perfectly. A compelling work of numismatic art, the broad 38.60mm flan depicts a row of pawns standing upon the chequered patterns of a chessboard, preparing for battle. A lovely touch, the Pawn in the foreground has a sword with a Pawn-shaped handle, and wears a decorative strap with a Pawn motif!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith the limited edition just 99, and with all of the Pawn’s predecessors in the Chess Gold Proof Series sold out, immediate action is a must.
