1 x 1 oz Copper Round Intaglio Mint "GREEK MYTHOLOGY SERIES – SCYLLA" -BU-

Aphrodite – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Greek Mythology Series

Meistere die Gefahren antiker Mythen mit der Scylla-Kupfermünze – einer furchteinflößenden Ergänzung unserer Serie zur griechischen Mythologie. Scylla, das legendäre Seeungeheuer, lauerte in den engen Meerespassagen, machte Jagd auf unvorsichtige Seefahrer und verbreitete Angst und Schrecken unter allen, die es wagten, diesen Ort zu durchqueren.

Struck in .999 fine copper, this 1 oz AVDP round measures 39mm and features a dramatic depiction of Scylla rising from the rocky cliffs, her monstrous form adorned with multiple snarling heads and serpentine appendages. Below, a doomed ship struggles against the churning waves — a testament to the deadly threat she posed. The reverse features the hallmark Greek Mythology Series design — a detailed architectural medallion surrounded by Corinthian columns and classical embellishments.

The Legend

Scylla was once a beautiful nymph transformed by jealousy and dark magic into a horrific sea creature. Alongside the whirlpool Charybdis, she guarded the Strait of Messina, forcing sailors to choose between two deadly fates. In Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus must bravely navigate this narrow passage, sacrificing men to Scylla’s insatiable hunger to avoid complete destruction.

A must-have for collectors drawn to the darker, more ominous tales of Greek mythology.
