ANCIENT GREEK MYTHS SERIES. This is the second coin in the extraordinary series dedicated to Ancient Greek Myths and depicts the tale of the fabled Minotaur of Crete. The specification follows last years first issue detailing the Trojan Horse with its wooden shield insert into the reverse, current issue featuring a brass insert representing Minutaurs mace. Reverse of the coin depicts mighty Minotaur , the half-man, half-bull of legend charging at the figure of Theseus clad in hoplite armor of that period. Brutal-looking and filled with rage, the Minotaur makes an imposing figure in this very dynamic scene set in the fabled labyrinth of the tale. The design is full of cool little touches : the remains of previous victims, the string that Theseus used to find his way back out of the maze, damage to the walls, and of course, realistically depicted brass insert representing the ball on the Minotaurs mace and chain. Integrated effectively into the art, it adds a depth to the coin, far more interesting than most of other coins featuring various inserts, such as glass window coins, for example. Obverse depicts the entrance to the labyrinth, guarded by a Greek-style warrior. The required effigy of Queen Elizabeth II (the coin is issued for Niue) is present as a coin within a coin. Just the inscription “ANCIENT MYTHS” sits outside of it. A small, classic reproduction of Theseus slaying the Minotaur is at the top of this face. Only the coins name “MINOTAUR” sits on the main reverse face. The edge of the coin will carries a serial number that will also be printed on the enclosed Certificate of Authenticity. COIN IS IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION AND COMES IN ALL-ORIGINAL MINT OF POLAND PACKAGING WITH COA #296. 62.2 g (2 Oz). High-relief, Antique, Brass Insert. The Minotaur , a mythical creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man, was the son of Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos of Crete. The terrifying humanoid monster was jailed in the Labyrinth, a maze inside the magnificent palace of King Minos. The Labyrinth was so complicated that no one could ever find the way out alive. Every year, seven Athenian youths and seven maidens were sent to Knossos to be devoured by the Minotaur. The third year, Theseus, the son of Aegeus, decided to be one of the seven young men that would go to Crete in order to kill the monster and put an end to this barbarous human sacrifice. But he would never be able to exit the Labyrinth without the help of Ariadne, a beautiful princess who fell in love with Theseus, and helped him accomplish his dangerous mission. Following Daedalus instructions, she handed Theseus a ball of string to help him find his way out of the Labyrinth. Upon entering the Labyrinth, Theseus tied one end of the string to the door and continued into the maze. He found the Minotaur in the furthest corner of the Labyrinth and killed him with jabs of his fist. After, Theseus simply followed the thread back through the maze to find his way to the doors. He finds and leads the other Athenians out of the maze and quickly sails off to Athens with Ariadne and Phaedra. On the journey home, Theseus abandons Ariadne on the island of Naxos and continues to sail to Athens with his intended wife, Phaedra. Theseus is overjoyed to be almost home but forgets to change the color of his sails from black to white. His father, King Aegeus, seeing the black sails from afar is overcome with grief and kills himself by jumping off a cliff into the sea. It is this act which secures Theseus place as the new Athenian king and explains the origin name of the Aegean Sea. DON’T HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS!

Minotaur In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet Ovid, a being part man and part bull. The Minotaur dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete.
