Obverse

The Argentia insignia is found on the obverse of these 10 oz Antique Medusa Silver Rounds. This simple yet stylish logo features a triangle shape and the word ARGENTIA below it. Also, on the obverse, there are inscriptions that read 10 OZ FINE SILVER .9999.

Reverse

Medusa herself is featured on the reverse of 10 oz Antique Argentia Silver Rounds. Staring left with menacing, cold eyes, Medusa will send shivers down your spine. Adding to the spooky factor are the numerous live snakes that twist and tangle from the Gorgons head.

History

Over the centuries, Medusa has appeared time and again in cultures across the world. Perhaps the most recognizable depiction of this monstrous creature is the painting Medusa by Caravaggio. The legendary Italian painter actually produced two versions of this masterpiece, one in 1596 and the other in 1597. These depictions show with remarkable detail the exact moment that the Gorgons head was cut off by the hero Perseus. This scene was also dramatized on screen in both the 1981 and 2010 films The Clash of the Titans.
