Poseidon, The reverse of the coin depicts a bearded Poseidon emerging from the waves with his two hippocampi, clutching his trident. The inscription POSEIDON also appears in the design. From their perch high atop Mount Olympus, the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece ruled over mortal and immortal alike. Through stories of conflict and bravery, deceit and intrigue, reward and punishment, the tales of Zeus and Hera's court provided drama and guidance for an entire civilization.

And while millennia has passed since the peak of their influence, the stories of these legendary figures still entertain through their immortal poems, ballads and songs. So it's no surprise that these deities have inspired the artisans of Australia's prestigious Perth Mint to create one of the most phenomenal silver coin series ever. Struck expertly in high relief using state of the art technology. The time and craft that goes into the creation of this coin produces extraordinarily detailed designs, made even more stunning by a gorgeous antiqued finish in two full ounces of highly-pure 99.9% silver, graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in Mint State 70 condition! With an extremely low mintage of (1,000 struck) 2016 Cook Islands Gods and Goddesses Antiqued Coins are definitely one for the ages!
