Discover the fifth release in the celebrated Numismatic Icons series — a striking 1oz silver tribute to the ancient Thracian city of Abdera and its legendary protector. At the heart of this exceptional design stands the majestic gryphon, the mythological fusion of eagle and lion, long associated with the protection of gold and precious treasures.
A symbol of vigilance, strength and nobility, the gryphon reflects Abdera’s deep roots in classical mythology and ancient coinage. It is paired with a finely detailed cicada — a distinctive motif found on historic Greek coins — adding a layer of authenticity and artistic continuity that connects past to present.
True to the traditions of classical minting, the CI numerals appear as a mark of origin, honouring the stylistic legacy of ancient Greek coinage and reinforcing the coin’s historical inspiration.
Struck in 1oz of fine silver, this refined issue is a harmonious blend of mythology, history and numismatic craftsmanship. The Gryphon coin stands as a timeless emblem of protection and prestige — an essential addition for collectors who value heritage, rarity and meaning in precious metal.
