The second coin from the fascinating "Mythology" series.
This coin was struck in 2 ounces of pure silver. It is decorated with a very high relief, which makes every detail of the coin perfectly visible. The reverse side depicts all the necessary elements of the myth of Sisyphus. The gilding surrounding the coin further emphasizes its shape. The shade of gold is illustrative - it may vary on the finished coin. The irregular shape of the coin makes the boulder appear extremely heavy.
The obverse of the coin features Queen Elizabeth II and the coin's specifications. The coin comes in an elegant wooden box along with a certificate of authenticity.
This coin is an excellent gift idea for fans of mythology and beyond!
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was the founder and king of the city of Ephyra (now known as Corinth). Hades punished him for cheating death twice, and made him roll a huge boulder up a hill only to have it roll down each time it neared the top, repeating the action for all eternity. Due to the influence of classicism on modern culture, tasks that are both arduous and futile are therefore referred to as Sisyphean.
