In Greek mythology, the Sphinx is an enigmatic creature with the body of a lion and the head of a woman, known for her cunning and merciless nature. She famously guarded the city of Thebes, posing a riddle to all who sought passage. Those unable to solve the riddle faced a fatal outcome.
On the high-relief design, the Sphinx sits menacingly beside human skulls, the remains of those unlucky enough to fail to pass through the gates. One skull, emphasized with exquisite gilding, serves as a haunting reminder of a traveler who met a tragic fate.
The “Sphinx” coin showcases artistic excellence, embodying mystery and intelligence on a 1-ounce silver canvas.
