DESCRIPTION
Medusa, a 2 oz coin, presents a winged female creature with a fierce and grotesque face. She is the most famous monster figure in Greek Mythology. Marvelous before and monstrous after, Athena cursed her for an illicit affair with Poseidon. She has a mesmerizing head of venomous snakes instead of hair and beautiful gilded eyes with petrifying powers. With one glance, turning anyone who takes a look into the stone, Medusa is known as a guardian and a protector from evil. The most famous Olympian god, Zeus wore an amulet with Medusa's face as a talisman to remain powerful and glorious throughout time. Completed with high relief and selective gilding in an antique finish, Medusa connotes protection. Everyone with evil intentions has a chance to see her face only once.
