The stunning addition of an antique finish coupled with the incredible high relief detail adds an enthralling touch of mystery to this legal-tender proof.

Sirens have been luring sailors to their doom since ancient times. While early stories depicted them as scary, ugly creatures with wings and other bird-like features, they evolved into temptresses resembling mermaids. The most famous literary depiction of sirens was in Homer’s epic poem “Odyssey,” in which the hero Ulysses orders his crew to tie him to his ship’s mast so he can hear their alluring song. Meanwhile, his crew plugs their ears with wax so they will not be tempted. In a famous painting by Herbert James Draper, the scene is illustrated with beautiful mermaids attempting to seduce Ulysses. As they climb aboard the ship they lose their tails and transform into seductive nymphs.
