Fortuna & Tyche Goddesses 2021 NIUE 2oz Antique finish Silver Coin 5$ NGC MS 70 ANTIQUE
This gorgeous 2 oz silver coin is the fourth in a series that has always flown a little under the radar in a field full of similar, and excellent designs, but that’s unfair. The three previous issues have all been first class, but this one has a flow to it that lifts it above them, in my view at least. The gilding of the key elements looks excellent against the antique finish
- 4th. in a popular series
- Legendary rimless ultrahigh relief style
- The gilding with antique finish
- Limited mintage of only 500 pieces worldwide
Widely admired across the Greek World, her temple in Alexandria, the Tychaeon, was said by contemporaries to be one of the finest in the Hellenistic World. She was a popular subject for coins and it’s of little surprise that she made the transition to the Roman pantheon with relative ease, this time as Fortuna. As with the Greeks, she remained the personification of luck, even surviving past the fall of Rome into the Renaissance period.
