Australia hosted the Invictus Games in 2018, this coin release a tribute to the defiant spirit that drives wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women to compete at these Games.
Selectively gold plated ” I AM” from the poem by amputee and Victoria era poet William Ernest Henley.
“Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.”
Coin in capsule in presentation case with outer box and certificate of authenticity. Some light wear to box.
