The collector's coin Hades forms the fulminant conclusion of the three-part "Gods of Olympus" series from 2014. After Zeus and Poseidon, the third and final issue is dedicated to the darkest of the Olympian gods – the ruler of the underworld. Anyone seeking silver coins with character and genuine collector's tradition will find an extraordinary piece here.

A Design from Greek Mythology

Designed by Perth Mint artist Tom Vaughan, the obverse depicts Hades as he is handed down in the ancient legends of Greece: enthroned on a seat of bones, skulls and ebony. At his side crouches Cerberus, the three-headed hellhound who guards the gates of the underworld. On his head, the god wears the horned cap of Hades, that legendary helmet of invisibility. Because Hades ruled over all treasures beneath the earth, he was also regarded as the god of wealth – symbolism that could hardly suit the precious metal silver any better.

The rimless high-relief minting gives the image remarkable depth, while the Antique Finish makes the coin appear like an ancient artifact from long-forgotten years. The reverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, framed by the face value of 2 Dollars, the year of issue 2014, and the inscription "2 oz 999 Silver". In this way, the piece combines numismatic storytelling with a clear commitment to fine silver.

Why This Collector's Coin Is So Sought After

With a mintage of only 1,500 pieces, this issue ranks among the true treasures of modern numismatics. The very low mintage meets a loyal community of collectors – the predecessors Zeus and Poseidon were already quickly sold out. It is precisely this strictly limited availability that forms the core of the value appreciation potential: where supply is firmly capped and demand remains, rare coins become even more appealing to collectors.

• 2 troy ounces of fine silver with a fineness of 999
• diameter of 40.50 mm in rimless format
• sculpted high-relief minting with characterful Antique Finish
• delivered in an elegant original wooden box
• including numbered certificate of authenticity from the Perth Mint

Compared to classic bullion coins such as the Krugerrand or the Kookaburra, Hades plays in a league of its own: the focus is not purely on the number of ounces, but on the elaborate minting technique, the narrative design, and the strict limitation. This makes the coin less of a pure silver bar substitute and more of a sought-after collector's piece.

Silver has been a proven tangible asset for millennia – here it combines with the power of Greek mythology and masterful minting artistry to form an object of lasting appeal.

As a limited premium coin, Hades appeals equally to discerning collectors and lovers of ancient legends. Anyone seeking a genuine rarity with history, expression, and scarce availability will make a choice with lasting collector's value with this issue from the "Gods of Olympus" series.
