1 TROY OUNCE SOLID .999 FINE INVESTMENT-GRADE SILVER MEDALLION *MEDUSA FROM ANONYMOUS MINT AND COIN CREATOR JULIE LINDQUIST 1 oz .999 fine silver PROOF MEDUSA with ANTIQUE Finish and individually numbered on rim with matching COA Introducing a new coin - MEDUSA. One look at this horrific beauty and you turn hard as a rock. Medusa is depicted with a head full of snakes bordered by the classic Greek key pattern. According to Greek mythology, Medusa was once a golden-haired maiden, a priestess of Athena, devoted to a life of celibacy. She was one of three gorgon sisters. Medusa fell for Poseidon, forgetting her vows, and she lay with Poseidon in Athena's temple. This infuriated Athena who in turn cursed Medusa by turning each wavy lock of hair into a venomous snake. Her milky white skin took on a green hue. Medusa became a repulsive creature, a monster. Anyone who would gaze into her eyes turned to stone. The demigod Perseus beheaded Medusa. Being pregnant at the time by Poseidon, Pegasus (winged horse) and Chrysaor (golden sword-wielding giant) sprang from Medusa's body. Perseus gave the head to Athena to mount on her shield. Coin Reverse - The Anonymous Mint graciously crowns the OWL as its reverse logo. Owl represents wisdom, intelligence, mystery, transition, secrets and protection. The announcer of death. In ancient symbolism, the owl represented guardianship of the underworld and protection of the dead. Owl has been known as ruler of the night, seer of souls, and keeper of spirits that had passed from one plane to another. During medieval times, it was fabled that owls were actually priestesses or wizards in disguise. Item specifics Metal Type: Silver Brand/Mint: anonymous Composition: Silver Weight: 1oz.
