Argentia 10-oz Silver Medusa Ultra High Relief Round Antiqued

Do You Dare Gaze At The Face Of Medusa?

One of three Gorgon sisters, Medusa was once a beautiful maiden. According to Greek mythology, she slipped up big time and incurred the wrath of Athena for sleeping with Poseidon in Athena's temple. As punishment, Athena turned Medusa into a hideous snake-haired monster. As further punishment, any man who dared to look at Medusa was turned to stone. That didn't stop the Greeks from gazing at her over and over again as Medusa's horrific face appeared on dozens of coins that circulated throughout the ancient Greek world. One may question why the face of a creature that could turn people into stone would appear on coins, but there's no questioning the exquisite craftsmanship exhibited on this impressive silver round that was inspired by and pays tribute to those ancient Greek Medusa coins.

The Exotic Face Of Medusa Struck In Pure Silver

Minted in ten full ounces of highly pure 99.99% silver, this massive round was struck by Argentia, a silver refining mint that is a division of Canadian PMX (Precious Metals Exchange) Corp. It's highly detailed and shows every coiling and hissing snake of Medusa's hair in sharp imagery. And thanks to its incredible Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail, the design takes on an almost-bas-relief appearance that's sure to appeal to art lovers everywhere. What's more, the piece also comes with a unique antique finish that adds even more depth to the already fascinating design. Antique finishes like this are typically applied by hand, meaning that no two pieces are exactly alike!
