The Gryphon: Protector Of Precious Treasures

The ancient city of Abdera was a major Greek municipality on the Thracian coast until it was destroyed in 376 B.C. following an invasion by the Triballi, who killed all the citizens who took part in the battle. Until then, Abdera had flourished and prospered thanks to brisk trade with other members of the Delian League, a confederacy of ancient Greek states under the leadership of Athens. Facilitating this trade were coins struck in Abdera that featured a Gryphon, a creature from Greek mythology that was a cross between a lion and an eagle. The noble Gryphon symbolizes both strength and wisdom and is revered as a guardian of wealth. Now it can represent all those things for you as the towering fifth release in the popular Numismatic Icons Series.

A Towering Coin Design

When we said “towering” we weren’t just blowing smoke! That’s because these coins were struck in an ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver by Germany’s world-famous Mayer Mint using Coin Invest Trust’s (CIT) patented Smartminting® Ultra High Relief Technology. The faithful reproduction of the famous Gryphon literally seems to be bursting off the coin as it rises more than 7 mm from the surface. It’s a jaw-dropping feature made even more remarkable by the addition of a unique antique finish. The combination of the Incredible Ultra High Relief and the sublime antique finish creates a three-dimensional effect that accentuates every detail in a way that’s sure to illicit gasps of surprise when people first lay their eyes on it!

Hurry: Small Edition Could Disappear Quickly

Released on behalf of the Cook Islands, a self-governing island nation in free association with New Zealand, this legal-tender $5 coin also features a cicada, a popular additional motif on ancient coins, along with the letters “CI” that stand for the Cook Islands. The letters were added to follow the tradition of ancient Greek coinage to indicate the place of the coin’s origin. Each coin will also come beautifully displayed in its original mint packaging that consists of a display case along with a Certificate of Authenticity. Just 999 of these 2024 Cook Islands $5 One-Ounce Silver Numismatic Icons: Gryphon Ultra High Relief Antiqued Coins have been struck for worldwide release. That’s an extremely small mintage, meaning these coins could be gone before you know it. Don’t get left out; secure your coin today!
