We are pleased to present our first bullion coin. It is Rusalka from the “Slavic Beastiary” series. It was minted from 2 ounces of silver. Both the reverse and obverse are eye-catching with their details and particulars. The mintage of this bullion coin is only 10 000 pieces.
In Slavic mythology rusalkas were demonic creatures inhabiting forests, fields and bodies of water. They were imagined as beautiful, naked girls with long, loose hair. They laughed loudly and sang. They appeared during the new moon and attracted young men to them. If anyone approached them, the hair of the mermaids turned green and their faces twisted. The rusalkas would kill lured people who touched them. It was believed that maidens who died before they could get married became rusalkas.
The first bullion coin of the Mint of Gdansk!
