2016 Niue $2 Creatures of Greek Mythology - Minotaur (No Tax)

This startling Creatures of Greek Mythology - Minotaur 1 oz Silver Coin is the third coin to be released in this coin collection.

The design shows an engraved illustration of the terrifying Minotaur, the mythical creature with the head and tail of a bull, on the body of a man. Legend tells that King Minos asked the God Poseidon to send him a sign of approval. A beautiful white bull rose from the sea, but when Minos saw it, he coveted the animal and sacrificed another instead. Upon learning of this, Poseidon made the wife of Minos fall in love with the bull. Their offspring was a monster called the Minotaur and it caused so much terror that he was locked away inside a vast labyrinth.

This stunning coin is packaged in a brown, faux-suede soft drawstring bag, styled after ancient Greek money pouches. The coin sits in an especially designed pocket within the money pouch and the Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the inside of the packaging.

The exciting Creatures of Greek Mythology coin collection would appeal to those who have interests in Greek mythology and historical culture. This highly collectible silver coin has a worldwide Limited Mintage of only 2,000 coins.
