Item Description
 
The 2023 Intaglio Mint Poseidon Silver Round is a powerful release in the Greek Mythology Series, honoring the mighty Olympian god of the sea. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this round showcases Intaglio Mint’s renowned deep engraving and classical design style, capturing the commanding presence of one of the most feared and respected deities in ancient mythology.
 
Poseidon was one of the twelve Olympian gods and the brother of Zeus and Hades. Following the defeat of the Titans, the three brothers divided the cosmos among themselves. Zeus ruled the skies, Hades governed the underworld, and Poseidon claimed dominion over the oceans. Revered and feared by sailors and coastal civilizations alike, Poseidon controlled storms, earthquakes, and the vast waters that surrounded the ancient Greek world.
 
Often depicted with a trident, Poseidon could summon storms, shatter cliffs, and command the seas with a single strike of his weapon. In mythology he was also closely associated with horses, sometimes portrayed riding the waves in a chariot drawn by divine sea horses.
 
Produced by Intaglio Mint, a respected American private mint known for historically inspired designs and exceptional engraving depth, this round combines mythological storytelling with investment-grade silver purity. It is an excellent addition for collectors of classical themes, mythology enthusiasts, and silver stackers seeking distinctive bullion.
