The 2018 Reverse Proof Solomon Islands Legends and Myths Minotaur 2 oz Silver Coin brings to life the mighty mythical minotaur, who features often in Greek mythology. The Legends and Myths series features several designs released each year, with the minotaur being the 4th design released in 2018. The intricately designed coin is made from .999 pure silver, which makes it highly desirable amongst both collectors and investors. The coin has a face value of $5 and is backed by the government of the Solomon Islands. The coin was released in a limited mintage, which boosts the collectability of the coins.
