Atlas Titans Glow in the Dark 2 Oz 2 Dollars Silver Coin Niue 2020

The Titan who holds up the sky

In Greek mythology, Atlas is the Titan whom Zeus, after the war of the Titans, condemned to hold up the sky for eternity. Today his name is given to a collection of maps – an atlas – and to mountains in Africa.

It glows in the dark

The most interesting secret of this coin appears when the lights go out: the stars of the constellations glow green. By day it is a classic silver coin, by night – a small map of the sky.

Coin design

The reverse shows a muscular Atlas holding up a firmament full of stars and constellations. The dark, patinated background emphasises the relief of the figure and the glowing stars.

Packaging

The coin comes in a box with a certificate of authenticity.

A gift idea

For lovers of mythology and astronomy – a gift with an effect that surprises when the lights go off.
