1 oz .999 Fine Silver Hercules / Stymphalian Birds – SKU #16406

Description

The 6^th design in Provident Metals’ exclusive 12 Labors of Hercules series. Each Stymphalian Birds round was struck with one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and was manufactured at the ISO9001 certified Provident Mint, which employs rigid quality standards to ensure each round is of the highest silver purity.

Hercules’ 6^th labor was to defeat the man-eating Stymphalian birds who possessed bronze beaks and metallic, projectible feathers. King Eurystheus sent Hercules to Arcadia, where the Greek hero shot many down and forced the remaining to never return.

Reverse: Birds perched on skulls and bones, and another flying above. The inscription “STYMPHALIAN BIRDS” and Roman numeral “VI” surrounds the silver birds.

Obverse: Hercules, with Nemean Lion’s skin draped over his head as armor, holding his wooden club in his right hand. “1 oz CMXCIX FINE SILVER” inscribed beside him.
