Description

Greek Mythology, Calypso (2023 Niue 5 Dollars Silver Coin)

This edition reimagines Calypso not as a distant figure from antiquity, but as an elemental presence—an embodiment of tides, memory, and irresistible allure. The high-relief sculpture reveals her rising from swirling waters, arms lifted as she cradles the moon, surrounded by shifting lunar phases. The deep blue epoxy creates a sense of submerged light, a quiet glow that contrasts with the textured silver, echoing the depths of the sea she commands.

Struck in 62.2 g of .999 silver, the 45 mm surface becomes a stage for intricate detailing: shells woven around the border, flowing hair that mirrors ocean currents, and the lunar arc positioned above her as a symbol of cycles, guidance, and transformation. The antique finish softens each contour, giving the piece the refined tactility of an ancient artefact shaped by time.

With a limited mintage of 500 pieces, the coin stands at the intersection of mythic storytelling and investment-grade silver. It appeals to collectors drawn to narrative depth as well as those seeking controlled scarcity, purity, and artistic precision. Afzina Silver ensures authenticity, original packaging, and a curated acquisition experience in line with the coin’s evocative nature.

A piece for those who find beauty in mystery, rhythm in the waves, and value in the quiet force of mythology.
