The design features Hades standing at the bottom of a staircase in the underworld with two skulls in the background. He is holding Cerberus, the three-headed watchdog, by a chain. The inscription HADES also appears in the design.
To capture the depth and detail of the design, the coin is struck in high relief to a rimless format. It has also been individually ‘antiqued’ to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment, the appearance of each coin may vary.
The coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver. Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of the Cook Islands, the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2017 year-date and the monetary denomination are shown on the coin’s obverse.
The coin is housed in a classic black display case within an illustrated shipper. Each coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
