GREEK MYTHOLOGY SERIES – SCYLLA

Scylla – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Greek Mythology Series

Description:

Navigate the perils of ancient myth with the Scylla copper round, a fearsome addition to our Greek Mythology Series. Scylla, the legendary sea monster, haunted the narrow straits of the sea, preying upon unwary sailors and inspiring terror in all who dared to pass.

Struck in .999 fine copper, this 1 oz AVDP round measures 39mm and features a dramatic depiction of Scylla rising from the rocky cliffs, her monstrous form adorned with multiple snarling heads and serpentine appendages. Below, a doomed ship struggles against the churning waves — a testament to the deadly threat she posed. The reverse features the hallmark Greek Mythology Series design — a detailed architectural medallion surrounded by Corinthian columns and classical embellishments.

The Legend:
Scylla was once a beautiful nymph transformed by jealousy and dark magic into a horrific sea creature. Alongside the whirlpool Charybdis, she guarded the Strait of Messina, forcing sailors to choose between two deadly fates. In Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus must bravely navigate this narrow passage, sacrificing men to Scylla’s insatiable hunger to avoid complete destruction.

A must-have for collectors drawn to the darker, more ominous tales of Greek mythology.
