Excalibur was the legendary sword pulled from the stone by Arthur. The legend indicates that Arthur pulled the sword from the stone confirming his rightful place as King of England. The mythological sword was gifted with magical powers when held by the rightful King of England.
The name “Excalibur” was derived from the Latin phrase Ex calce liberatus, which translated to: “liberated from the stone.” The Greeks also had a similar translation: Ex-Kylie-Pyr or “out of a cup—fire”. Both phrases are inscribed on the front of this geocoin.
