In 2014, The Perth Mint first released the Gods of Olympus Series. The coins were immediate sell-outs. Now, the iconic Hades design is back in a BU finish from The Perth Mint. The Perth Mint will release no more than 450 of the 5 oz Silver Gods of Olympus Hades coins
Perth Mint’s Gods of Olympus Series continues with Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. This release follows the prior releases of Zeus, the Greek god of the sky, and Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. Hades means “The Unseen One,” as he is typically in the underworld as ruler of the dead. Hades is frequently depicted with his helmet, and his three-headed dog Cerberus is typically beside him. Hades is depicted with his invisibility helmet and three-headed dog on this Silver coin by The Perth Mint, struck in 5 oz of .9999 fine Silver.
- Contains 5 oz of .9999 fine Silver.
- Limited mintage of only 450 coins.
- Obverse: Displays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination, the coin’s weight and fineness, and the 2021 year-date.
- Reverse: Depicts Hades sitting on his throne made of bones and skulls, wearing his invisibility helmet. He is accompanied by Cerberus, his watch dog. The design also includes the inscription “HADES” and The Perth Mint’s “P” mint mark.
- Tuvalu legal tender.
