GODS OF OLYMPUS Multiple Layer Relief 1 Kilo Silver Coin 50$ Cook Islands 2016

The coin featured here takes the premium to the extreme, stretching the concept into the kilo realm with a hefty 1,000g of antique finish fine silver. Depicting all twelve of the main gods in Greek mythology arranged in an arc around the coin centre, it's a very attractive design, having all of the Dodekatheon placed on a cloud-filled background with a centre design quite close in appearance to the aforementioned Temple of Heaven release. Using the same Multiple Layer Minting Technique employed on the superb Temple of Heaven coin, it has a deep level of relief (up to 5mm) on its almost concave reverse face. Issued for the Cook Islands, the coin's obverse depicts the Queen Elizabeth II.
