Bring a story from Greek mythology to your stack. The 2021 1 oz Tokelau Goddess Europa Silver Coin is a stunning brilliant uncirculated coin that uses frosted devices over mirrored fields to capture the eye and the imagination with its images.
The obverse of this coin depicts Europa riding a bull. Behind them, the sun is rising or setting, taking up much of the left part of the field. The bull is actually Zeus in disguise. According to Greek mythology, Zeus desired Europa. To try to hide this fact from his jealous wife, he disguised himself as a bull and mixed in with the herds belonging to Europa’s father. He acted tame to draw her trust, and she eventually climbed on his back, whereupon he ran off and swam across the sea to Crete. According to the story, Europa later married a king and became the queen of Crete. The continent of Europe is named after her.
The reverse of the coin depicts the requisite effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. The right-facing portrait was created by Ian Rank-Broadley for the UK Royal Mint in 1998. It was used officially on UK coinage through 2015. It’s one of the most-used effigies of the queen and is still used in many mintings across the globe where nations must include the queen’s image. The effigy is encircled by inscriptions that spell out the queen’s name, name of the minting government, the denomination of the coin, and the year of minting.
The coin ships in either protective flips for individual specimens or in plastic tubes for multiples of 20 silver coins. These coins are available to you in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
This 1 oz silver coin is a great option for new silver stackers, numismatists interested in Greek mythologies or coin collectors that want to add some new stories to their shelves.
