A set of five 2oz fine silver coins produced in high relief with an antique finish that has been completed by hand to bring these amazing characters to life.



The fourth coin in the series features Medusa.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique depiction of Queen Elizabeth II, with her head transformed into a medusa-like creature, complete with snakes for hair and a menacing gaze. This bold and unconventional design was created by artist Joel Iskowitz and was intended to symbolize the queen's role as a powerful and protective force, much like the mythical Medusa. The coin's antique finish and high-quality silver composition only add to its striking appearance, making it a truly standout piece for collectors.
