Tuvalu: Gods of Olympus - Ares 5 oz Silver 2023 Antiqued Coin
The Gods of Olympus series is a noteworthy offering from renowned precious metals producer The Perth Mint. The Gods of Olympus collection was first made public in 2014 and sold out immediately. In 2020, there is a reissue of this remarkable collection and this time, in addition to the coins having "Antiqued Finish", the manufacturer has also prepared an investment version - a bullion version.
The silver bullion coin depicting Ares is a product made of pure Ag bullion.9999, weighing 5 troy ounces and measuring 55.9 mm in diameter. The 2023 coin is the seventh coin in the Gods of Olympus series. The coin is guaranteed by the government of Tuvalu and is a full-fledged means of payment within the country. Importantly, this is a silver copy, which has a strictly limited edition of 50 pieces. It is therefore worth taking an interest in this coin, as well as the entire series.
Obverse the silver coin shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and information about the face value, weight, minting proof, issuing country and date of issue. The designer of the obverse was Ian Rank-Broadley.
Reverse shows the figure of Ares on the battlefield holding a spear and shield as he crushes his helmet, designed by Jennifer McKenna. In addition, the reverse side bears the inscription "ARES" and the mint mark in the form of the letter "P".
