Mint XXI’s Great Greek Mythology series enters its final year with the first of three trios of high-relief silver coins

Mint XXI’s terrific ‘Great Greek Mythology’ series today sees the debut of the tenth tranche of three coins, on its way to make a 36-coin set over four years. There’s one of each size in this release, as unusually, the set consists of 12 one-ounce coins, 16 two-ounce coins, and 8 three-ounce coins, to be issued in three tranches of three per year.

Tranche 10 includes a 3 oz Hestia, an impressive 2 oz Heracles, and an awesome 1 oz Chimera design, proof indeed that the series can keep up the same high quality irrespective of the price point. All have that signature antique finish, with a particular element picked out with gilding, and all come boxed with a Certificate of Authenticity.

You can get fuller information on this superb series as we produced one of our Coin Series Profiles for you to check out, which also includes images, including close-ups, of all the releases to date, all 30 of them. All are available to order now.
