2021 Niue $2 2-oz Silver Demigods: Hercules w/Red Garnet Ultra High Relief Antiqued Gem BU
Greek Mythology Comes Alive!
Of all the Greek heroes, none stand taller than Hercules, the half-god, half-mortal son of Zeus. A demigod whose adventures have been chronicled throughout Greek Mythology, Hercules is legendary for his courage, strength, skill and cunning. His popularity stems in no small part to his many victories over evil. One of his last battles is depicted on this astounding coin that shows Hercules defeating the wicked centaur Nessus. While many will want to add this coin to their collection, only a very fortunate few will be able to because it’s from a limited edition of just 650 coins released for the entire world!
The Earth-Shattering Fight Between Hercules And The Centaur
The exciting design on this coin, the third release in the Demigods series, is breathtaking as it depicts the earth-shattering fight between Hercules and Nessus, a fiendish centaur who attempted to seduce Hercules’ wife. During the battle, Hercules shot the evil half-man, half-horse creature with a poison arrow. In revenge, Nessus, dipped a cloak in his tainted blood and gave it to Hercules’ wife saying that if Hercules wore it, he would never seek another lover. Years later when Hercules’ eyes began straying to other women, she placed the robe on his shoulders, thus poisoning him with the tainted blood.
Ultra High Relief Detail And Unique Antique Finish
Struck in two full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the bulging muscles of Hercules can be seen rippling with unbridled strength as he defeats Nessus. Part of the design shows goblets and urns being overturned in the battle. And, if you look closely, you can see that the wine about to be spilled from a large goblet in the foreground is actually a red garnet gemstone! The Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail makes these images rise from the coin like a classical bas relief sculpture. The entire piece has also been given a lavish antique finish to give it a timeless look and feel. Typically applied by hand, this means that no two coins are exactly alike.
