♛ The Queen’s Rise to Power – A Legacy Thousands of Years Old
Chess originated from an ancient war game known as chaturanga, later becoming shatranj in Persia after 600 BC.
Originally, the piece now known as the queen was the farzin (vizier) — a weak advisor with limited movement.
As the game spread to Europe, the vizier evolved into the queen, eventually transforming into the most powerful piece on the board after 1475, gaining the ability to move:
• Vertically
• Horizontally
• Diagonally
• Any number of squares
This historic rise is honoured beautifully through the modern numismatic artistry of this coin.

🎨 Design Description
The reverse presents a commanding Chess Queen, sculpted with authority and elegance:
• The queen holds a regal scepter, symbolising power
• Her flowing robes feature chessboard patterning, referencing strategic mastery
• A unique silver fan, cleverly composed of multiple queen chess pieces, adds a sophisticated flourish
• The dramatic Black Proof finish amplifies every detail with bold contrast and depth
The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, confirming its legal tender status.
