Stymphalian Birds Twelve Labours of Hercules 2 Oz 5 Dollars Silver Coin Niue 2022

The Twelve Labours of Hercules series by Mint of Poland

The twelve labours were tasks that King Eurystheus of Mycenae imposed on Heracles (Hercules) as penance. Mennica Polska (Mint of Poland) strikes them as a series of 2 oz silver coins for Niue – each new coin shows the next labour. This is the sixth coin of the series, with a mintage of only 500 pieces.

The myth: The Stymphalian Birds

Man-eating birds with bronze beaks and feathers as sharp as arrows nested by Lake Stymphalia in Arcadia. Athena gave Heracles bronze rattles forged by Hephaestus. Their noise drove the flock into the air, and the hero shot the birds down with his bow.

Coin and packaging

The coin contains 2 ounces of silver, measures 45 mm and has a face value of 5 Niue dollars. It comes in a box with a Mint of Poland certificate of authenticity. The large coin shows the details of the scene well – a coin to look at, not just to store.

A gift idea

For an archer, a birdwatcher or a mythology fan – an unusual coin showing one of the most picturesque labours of Hercules.
