Gold Ounce 2023 Gods of Olympus - Ares, Coin from Tuvalu - detailed information
| ||||||
The Tuvaluan Dollar is the currency of Tuvalu - a small nation in the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu has never had banknotes of its own, and has been issuing coins since 1976; these circulate together with coins of the Australian Dollar, which is also legal tender in the country, and to which the Tuvaluan Dollar is pegged. The Australian Perth Mint issues a large variety of non-circulating legal tender coins under the authority of Tuvalu. Some of these are in the gold ounce format (abbreviated as 1 oz). Strictly speaking, they are not bullion as they are priced at a premium and are targeted at collectors who appreciate them for their artistic merit and collectable value and not just for their precious metal content. This coin is part of the Gods of Olympus series of premium bullion coins by the Perth Mint, and is dedicated to Ares (Ancient Greek: Ἄρης), the Greek god of courage and war. He was one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. The Greeks were ambivalent toward him. He embodies the physical valour necessary for success in war but can also personify sheer brutality and blood lust, in contrast to his sister, the armoured Athena, whose martial functions include military strategy and generalship. The counterpart of Ares in Roman mythology was Mars. | ||||||
