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 an iridescent effect, which gives it a unique and eye-catching appearance. The use of iridescence in coin design is a relatively modern innovation, and it adds an extra layer of visual interest to the coin. The shimmering effect is achieved through the use of special finishes or coatings on the coin's surface, which refract light and create a shifting, rainbow-like effect. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins and adds to its collectibility.
