Description
This 5 Oz Silver coin calls the Trojan Horse out of Greek mythology. A giant wooden body erupts from Silver, unleashed by Smartminting Technology and Smart 4.0 Relief. A gift that carries ruin. A titan pregnant with war. Hollow. Silent. Subtle. Greek soldiers hide inside its belly. Every heartbeat counts down to ruin. Then, night devours the city. Wood cracks and becomes wound. The hidden threat steps into the darkness, and doom enters Troy without knocking. And all that is left is the eternal threat of deception wrapped in generosity. The coin is sealed in a case with its Certificate of Authenticity. Only 499 pieces in the world.
Design
The reverse of this Silver coin rises in all its monstrous stillness. The Trojan Horse waits without moving in highest possible Relief. Its silence already echoes with the fall of Troy. A giant moon opens the sky like a wound, spilling on the world its pale light. The city sleeps behind. Unaware that dawn will rise over its ruins. A Greek motif runs along the rim, weaving the ancient pulse of myth around the heart of the coin. The obverse is a living mechanism of gears, carved with surgical precision. From their still motion, a light bulb emerges. A spark of brilliance made visible. A reflection of Odysseus’ genius. The effigy of King Charles III is locked into the gears’ relentless motion. All around, the inscriptions: “CHARLES III” – the name of the King, “2026” – the issuing year, “COOK ISLANDS” – the issuing country, and “25 DOLLARS” – the face value.
