Mythical Creatures: Original series (2018)

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 second coin in the series features The Minotaur.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that depicts the mythical creature, the Minotaur, which is a half-man, half-bull creature from ancient Greek mythology. The Minotaur is shown standing on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by a maze, which is a nod to the creature's association with the Labyrinth, a complex maze designed by the ancient Greeks to hold the Minotaur captive. The coin's design is particularly interesting because it combines a historical figure from ancient Greece with a modern interpretation, creating a unique and visually striking image.
