The obverse and reverse fields of the 2 oz Achilles’ Shield Silver Stacker feature the same design elements. These elements are reflected with a domed field on the obverse and a concave field on the reverse of the silver shield. In Homer’s epic, The Illiad, great detail is given to the description of Achilles’ shield. The shield has a series of concentric rings with different design elements in each of those rings. This includes symbols representing the Earth, sky, sea, sun, and the moon at the center. There are symbols of the 12 constellations in the next ring, with the outer ring depicted various scenes of life in a city of the ancient world.
Achilles was said to be the greatest warrior of the ancient world. He was invincible with the exception of one flaw. The very base of his heel, now known as the Achilles’ heel, was his one weakness and it is said that he was killed by the perfect strike of an arrow that hit his heel.

“Very beautiful in detail and uniquely shaped, it will make a powerful conversation and display piece. The art is based on an 1820 painter’s interpretation of the Iliad’s description although it omits the outermost ring. I would love to see this in a larger size, especially with that outer ring, but this is plenty worth it.”
