Nemean Lion Twelve Labours of Hercules 2 Oz 5 Dollars Silver Coin Niue 2018

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 first coin of the series, with a mintage of only 500 pieces.

The myth: The Nemean Lion

The first task was to slay the lion of Nemea, whose hide no arrow or sword could pierce. Heracles drove the beast into a cave and strangled it with his bare hands, then wore its skin as armour – which is why he is shown with a lion's head.

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 someone brave who faces challenges head-on – and for anyone who wants to start the Twelve Labours of Hercules collection with the very first coin. Also a fine gift for a Leo.
