The second coin in the series, \u2018Sirens\u2019, depicts the owners of fabulous voices. Their strongest weapon \u2013 enchanting songs \u2013 is still surrounded by legends.<\/p>\n
The reverse of the newest aged silver collectible coin depicts charming yet treacherous sirens. Homer\u2019s epic poem \u2018Odyssey\u2019 mentions two sirens whose names are not known, and the third siren is mentioned only in later works by other authors. These mythical creatures used to spend time on the rocky edge of their island which was covered in the bones of the dead \u2013 a symbol of what a siren\u2019s song could do.<\/p>\n
Before the sailors even approached the island where the sirens lived, they could hear the haunting voices from afar. The song of the sirens was impossible to resist \u2013 it lured sailors to the rocky shore where their ships would crash, and the men on board would perish.<\/p>\n
The limited-edition collectible silver coin \u2018Sirens\u2019 can be not only a great addition to one\u2019s collection, but also an original gift for people who love travelling or are interested in legends and myths. The latest minting technologies as well as high relief and digital printing have been applied in the production of the coin. The obverse of the coin is divided into four sections which depict all the coins of the \u2018Mythical Creatures\u2019 series: \u2018Labyrinth of the Minotaur\u2019, \u2018Sirens\u2019, \u2018The Nest of the Harpies\u2019, and \u2018Sea Monster Kraken\u2019. These mythical creatures are often found in Greek mythology.<\/p>\n
