There are elements of the Medusa story across Roman and Greek mythology that matchup. Both cultures speak of a horrid-looking female figure with green skin and a head full of snakes for hair. Both also speak of her figure possessing the ability to turn a man to stone with one look, and also point to a similar heritage as one of three sisters of Phorcys and Ceto, ancient marine deities. However, it is in later Roman writings about Medusa that we hear for the first time of her past life as a beautiful maiden who served Minerva (Athena, to the Greeks) and was turned into a hideous beast after having an affair in Minervas temple with the God of the Sea.

Obverse

The obverse side of the 1 oz Silver Medusa Round features a front-facing depiction of Medusa. In this design, the evil Gorgon is shown with her piercing gaze staring directly at you as the snakes on her head writhe around. There are no text inscriptions on this face of the round, but you will notice an ancient-themed design element around the outer edge of the design element.

Reverse

On the reverse field of Silver Medusa Rounds, you will find the Anonymous Mint logo. The mints logo design reflects the heraldic eagle of the United States. Instead of an eagle, however, it features the wise owl. The owl is set in front-facing relief with its wings spread out wide. The owl clutches three arrows in its talons. The crown atop the owls head includes the A.M. initials of the mint. Above the crown, there is a cluster of 13 stars in descending rows of six, four, and three stars. At the bottom of the design element, you will notice the words Anonymous Mint flanked by beaded dots, with 1 Ounce .999 Fine Silver also inscribed on this side.
