Obverse
The obverse of the 2023 Antique Niue Silver Achilles Coin displays the Public Seal of Niue framed by an assortment of historic weapons. Niue, located in the South Pacific and associated with New Zealand, is known for authorizing commemorative coinage. Its status as an issuing authority provides legal tender backing and credibility to special releases like this one.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2023 2 oz Antique Silver Achilles Coin, Achilles is portrayed in armor with select features plated in 24-karat gold. He is positioned near the walls of Troy, prepared for battle. His leadership helped secure victories for the Greeks, but his story is also marked by grief after the loss of Patroclus. Ultimately, he was defeated when Paris struck his heel with a fatal shot.
History
Achilles is a legendary Greek warrior best known for his role in the Trojan War. His story, told in Homers Iliad, highlights both his unmatched combat ability and his personal struggles. While he was thought to be nearly invulnerable, his heel remained unprotected. This detail led to the lasting expression Achilles heel. Mythology tells us that his mother dipped him into the River Styx as an infant, holding him by the heel and leaving that spot exposed.
