DESCRIPTION
The voices of devotion and desire unite in poetic harmony. Polyhymnia, muse of sacred poetry and hymns, radiates serene grace — her art devoted to the divine. Beside her, Erato, muse of lyric poetry and love, embodies passion and tenderness, her lyre a faithful companion to every verse of the heart.
This 2 oz silver coin renders both muses in expressive high relief, capturing the elegance of their forms and the contrast of their poetic realms. Digital printing recreates the signature ancient mosaic effect, while digital gilding adds luminous accents to the composition — enriching the scene with classical grandeur and radiant depth. The final issue of The Nine Muses collection, this coin brings the series to its poetic completion. A crowning piece for collectors fortunate enough to unite all the voices of the Nine Muses — Calliope, Clio, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Polyhymnia, and Urania — masterfully brought to life by MINT XXI.
Listen closely — their voices still whisper through the ages.
