2013 British Virgin Islands 10 Dollar Silver Zeus Olympics Proof

2013 British Virgin Islands 10 Dollar Silver Zeus Olympics Proof

 Product Description:

Zeus the Victorious Rises Again!

In 1896, the first Games of the Modern Olympiad were held in Athens, Greece. The winner in each event was awarded a silver medal (gold medals came later). The medal featured a face-on portrait of the Greek God Zeus, holding an orb in one hand, on which stood winged victory, holding an olive branch. Today, to celebrate the rise of the modern Olympic Games, this 2013 Zeus Silver Dollar is now available to collectors. It shows the exact image of the original silver medal, but now struck in deeply mirrored and frosted proof silver. A stately portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse. It's stunning! With 28.28 grams of 99.9% silver, the 2013 Zeus Proof has more silver than a Morgan Silver Dollar. The proof is bound to be popular with Olympic coin collectors around the world, but with only 10,000 minted, many could be disappointed by a rapid sell-out. Don't be one of them.
