Description GODS OF OLYMPUS – HADES – MOUNT OLYMPUS – 14 COIN COLLECTION – 2016 – 2017 13 X 2 oz & 5 oz Fine Silver Antiqued Coins – PERTH MINT As we know, Australia’s own Perth Mint is often the leader of the pack; constantly ahead of the world in high quality collectable coinage. And so it was in 2014 with the Mint’s release of the Gods of Olympus series. Among the first Gods and Mythology coins to be struck in an edgeless, antiqued format, every single coin in that series sold out at lightning speed. Today they are tremendously difficult to find. Shocking the world in November 2017, the mint announced that it has revisited that series… with a MASSIVE 12 coin set PLUS two more extra, special coins! The Twelve Olympians Featuring all twelve of the Gods of Mount Olympus, this special set of 2oz silver coins is, frankly, amazing. They are all here – Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes and Hestia – and all are struck from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver! Though the mint’s edgeless, antiqued style is somewhat familiar to us now, it must be remembered just how perfectly suited this technique is to the action packed designs of the Gods of Ancient Greece. Housed in a special three-tier collection case, this is a wondrous set, made even more desirable by the limited edition of just 1,000 sets! Hades – God of the Underworld. Hades… the brother of Zeus and Poseidon, the Lord of the Underworld, and the keeper of dead souls. Clearly, no collection of Olympians could be complete without him! Depicting Hades alongside his famous 3-headed dog, Cerberus, each 2oz silver coin is available individually. Limited to a mintage of only 1,000 coins, Hades is a vital part of the Gods of Olympus Coin Collection. The Complete 14-Coin Collection! Stunningly, the Perth Mint has decided not to stop at 13 coins with this Mount Olympus coin collection. The pinnacle of this gigantic set is a FIVE OUNCE silver coin featuring a magnificent, high relief rendition of the entire family of Ancient Greek Gods! All three brothers, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades are all here, plus of course the other 10 lesser gods and goddesses. Beautifully struck, as only the Perth Mint can produce, this precious metal behemoth is limited to a mintage of just 500 coins. That means that, to own a COMPLETE Mount Olympus collection… would make you one of only 500 people in the entire world! Outstanding.
