MEDUSA COIN, Framed with Display Stand

Comes framed with display stand. Medusa was one of the most feared characters from Greek antiquity, and her image remains popular today as a symbol of the potential danger that comes with immense beauty. In Greek mythology, Medusa is said to have beauty that is unmatched by other women, with one exception. Medusa’s beauty was said to be impossible to avoid, with many men encountering Medusa eventually turning to stone. It is said that rather than hair on her head, Medusa had a head full of snakes and the ability of her eyesight to turn men to stone. As countless men attempted to defeat Medusa, but failed because they were turned to stone when looking into her eyes. Only one man was eventually able to defeat Medusa; Perseus, the half-man, half-god son of Zeus. These rounds have a brilliant, mirrored finish. On the reverse side of the round you’ll find the Anonymous Mint logo. The mint’s logo is a clever play on the heraldic eagle of the United States, which includes an owl with its wings spread wide and its talons clutching arrows on one side, and an olive branch on the other. The obverse of the Round you’ll find the image of Medusa. Look, if you dare, at the beauty of her front-facing portrait that includes her full head of snakes in place of hair and a unique Greek-inspired border design.
