Niue – 2023 – 5 Dollars – Achilles (Legendary Warriors series) 2oz silver

Description

Meet Achilles—the legendary Greek hero of the Trojan War, immortalized in Homer’s Iliad and revered for his unmatched strength, valor, and tragic fate. Said to be invulnerable except for his heel, Achilles led the Myrmidons into battle and became a symbol of heroic glory and human vulnerability. His fierce combat skills and wrathful courage defined the Greek defense during the siege of Troy, with his story continuing to inspire countless works of literature and art across the centuries. Now, this timeless warrior is honored in a stunning 2 oz .999 fine silver coin, richly detailed in high relief and accented with selective gold plating to highlight key elements of the design. Issued by Niue in 2025, the coin has a face value of 5 Dollars, measures 45 mm, and features an antique finish. With a limited mintage of just 500 pieces, each coin comes with a certificate of authenticity and presentation case—an essential addition to any collection.
