The concept of mermaids dates back thousands of years, with some of the earliest depictions found in ancient Assyrian mythology dating to around 1000 BC. These early mermaid-like creatures were often depicted as half-human, half-fish beings. At the Scottsdale Mint, Mermaids have provided the backbone of a silver coin series boasting new designs each year. Right now, 2023 1 oz Antique Samoa Silver Mermaid Mother & Daughter Coins are available for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 2023 1 oz Antique Samoa Silver Mermaid Mother & Daughter Coins available here comes with an individual acrylic capsule. Scottsdale Mint has applied an antique polish to these coins, delivering an ancient look for the finished product.
In Greek mythology, mermaids were associated with the sirens, dangerous creatures who lured sailors to their deaths with their enchanting voices and music. The sirens were often depicted as part-woman, part-bird, but their characteristics evolved over time to include fish-like attributes.
The obverse of the 2023 Antique Samoa Silver Mermaid Mother & Daughter Coin comes with a depiction of the Samoan coat of arms. The national seal of Samoa includes a shield with the Southern Cross constellation in its lower two-thirds and a single palm tree set against the ocean waves in the upper-third. A Christian cross tops the design field of the seal and the border on this side of the coin features waves and seashells.
On the reverse of 2023 1 oz Antique Silver Mermaid Coins, the bond between mother and daughter is featured in this year’s design. Here, the young daughter swims toward her mom’s outstretched arms as the mother gently grasps her daughter’s face as she approaches.
