Struck by the world-renowned Scottsdale Mint, this legal tender coin is a breathtaking tribute to one of the most iconic stories in Western history. As part of the prestigious Gibraltar mythology series, this 2021 release is more than just bullion—it is a miniature canvas depicting the legendary hero Perseus at his moment of ultimate victory. With a strictly limited mintage of just 10,000 BU coins, this is a essential addition for collectors who value artistry as much as silver purity.
Reverse: A Tribute to Cellini’s Masterpiece The reverse of the coin features a stunning recreation of the bronze sculpture Perseus with the Head of Medusa (1545), which currently resides in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy. The design uniquely depicts the sculptor himself, Benvenuto Cellini, standing alongside his work. The intricate detail captures the triumph of Perseus as he holds aloft the severed head of the Gorgon, whose gaze turned men to stone.
Obverse: The Seal of Authority The obverse displays the official Coat of Arms of Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory. This ensures the coin's status as legal tender and verifies its weight and .999 silver purity. Around the crest, you will find the inscriptions for the year (2021), the denomination (£1), and the metal content.
While standard 1 oz silver rounds follow the spot price of silver, limited mintage coins like the Perseus Medusa often see numismatic appreciation:
High Collector Demand: Mythology-themed coins are consistently the highest-performing niche in the secondary market.
Scottsdale Mint Quality: Known for their "Proof-Like" BU strikes, Scottsdale products often command higher premiums than government-issued coins like the Silver Eagle.
Low Mintage: With only 10,000 pieces in existence, the supply is significantly lower than most annual bullion releases
