Design
The reverse showcases Athena in full battle armor, poised with spear and shield as an owl flies behind her, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. The intricate design captures both her strength and intelligence while incorporating the Perth Mint’s iconic “P” mintmark. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, confirming the coin’s legal tender status in Tuvalu.
Collectibility
With a limited mintage of only 13,500, the Athena release is among the scarcer modern bullion issues from the Perth Mint. The Gods of Olympus series has become increasingly popular with collectors due to its detailed artwork, mythological themes, and consistently low mintages. Athena’s status as one of the most recognizable figures in Greek mythology makes this issue especially desirable for collectors seeking to complete the series or add premium modern silver to their collections.
