2021 Gibraltar 1 oz Silver Perseus With The Head of Medusa

Capture The Artistry Of Greek Mythology

One of the most famous and oft-repeated stories from Greek Mythology is the tale of Perseus slaying Medusa, one of three gorgon sisters. Because anyone who gazed into the eyes of Medusa, who had the face of a beautiful woman and venomous snakes in place of hair, would turn to stone, Perseus snuck up on the winged monster while she was sleeping in a cave and used a mirror to look at her. Refused hospitality by King Atlas on his way home from his monster-killing quest, Perseus had the last laugh by showing Medusa’s decapitated head to the rude monarch, turning him to stone.

A Dazzling Coin That Shows Both Sculpture And Artist

The legendary tale is famously depicted in the iconic statue Perseus with the Head of Medusa, a bronze sculpture made by Benvenuto Cellini in the mid-1500s that now resides in Florence, Italy. The sculpture is so lifelike that some people refuse to look at it lest they themselves are turned to stone! Now you can safely look at the amazing piece of art without fear of becoming a concrete pillar thanks to this dazzling coin that shows both the sculpture and the artist himself in gleaming silver!
