2014 Silver Gods of Olympus 2 oz. Coin Series – Poseidon

Additional Information:

In ancient Greek mythology, Poseidon was worshipped as the God of the Sea. Adept at gathering clouds and creating violent storms, Poseidon was responsible for countless shipwrecks and the drowning of many souls, yet he also held the power to grant a ship a successful voyage, and to save those in danger. He is also often referred to as the ‘earth-shaker’ due to his penchant for causing earthquakes.

Forthcoming release: Hades.

The coin’s reverse depicts a bearded Poseidon riding the waves on his chariot pulled by two hippocampi, clutching his trident, with dolphins porposing in the background. The design includes the inscription POSEIDON and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.

To capture the depth and detail of the design, each coin is meticulously struck in high relief to a rimless format and features an antique finish.

Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2014 year-date and the monetary denomination are shown on the coin’s obverse.

The coin is housed in a prestigious round wooden display case, with stunning detail on its lid and packaged in a beautifully illustrated shipper.

Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
