Being the most complete and planned for 4 years, this series brings order to the divine Chaos. 36 antique finish coins in 3 formats will reveal unexpected features of the most famous characters of Greek mythology from all possible angles. Each silver masterpiece tells the myth of Olympus through the gorgeous forms of figures, selective gilding, and high-level detailing.
 
Odysseus, renowned in Greek culture for his bravery, intelligence, and resourcefulness, is elegantly immortalized on a 2-ounce silver coin. The traveller, depicted with a bow and arrow and famous for his unrivaled skill, is also celebrated by Homer, who composed the legendary 'Odyssey' in his honor. Odysseus's adventures are symbolized by a gilded belt that secures his cloak and the imagery of a ship in the background, underscoring his perilous sea voyages. A mermaid on his shoulder recalls his clever escape from the Sirens' tempting song, as well as his relentless quest to return to Ithaca and his beloved wife, Penelope.
 
The high-relief coin masterfully captures Odysseus's epic journey, blending exquisite craftsmanship with ancient legend.
