This amazing 2 ounce .999 pure silver coin is part of Cameroon and Mint21’s massive “Greek Mythology” program. Once again struck in high relief with select 24K gilding, we present Odysseus, renowned in Greek culture for his bravery, intelligence and resourcefulness.
Odysseus the traveller is depicted with a bow and arrow and famous for his unrivaled skill, is also celebrated by Homer, who composed the legendary ‘Odyssey’ in his honor. Odysseus’s adventures are symbolized by a gilded belt that secures his cloak and the imagery of a ship in the background, underscoring his perilous sea voyages. A mermaid on his shoulder tells the tale of his clever escape from the Sirens’ tempting song, as well as his relentless quest to return to Ithaca and his beloved wife, Penelope.
Highlights:
Super low mintage of 500 pieces
Highly detailed strike with antique finish
Select 24K gold plating on the motif
Fantastic artwork on both coin faces
