Let me know what of think of this art round.
The Mermaid, .999 fine silver
made by the Intaglio Mint, comes in 1 oz and 2 oz versions.
Obverse: Features a mermaid in the center swimming through an ocean of human skulls with their abandoned ship and two more mermaids behind her. This intricately designed round features the words “THE MERMAID” above the mermaid in the center of the round.
Reverse: The classic radial-burst background with the Intaglio Mint logo. Purity and weight are engraved at the bottom and top of this side respectively.
Mermaids are folkloric water beings which have emerged over the last thousand years in the folklore and popular culture of almost all coastal civilizations. These legendary creatures were often portrayed as pretty women with a lower-body resembling the fishtail, and the top half of a woman. This created an atmosphere of romance around the mermaids. At first, mermaids represented the undiscovered of the ocean and the perils of the open sea but as our society and sciences evolved, mermaids became more of a myth that is only featured in art and the media. As mankind developed around the waterways and oceans, their religion often concentrated greatly on the potential dangers that existed around them in the water. Because of this, a combination of man and fish were some of the oldest recognized gods. The woman sea gods appeared alongside the men as time went by. Triton, son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, was one of the clearest examples of mermen in ancient mythology.What do you think of this art round?

😊MAke it an enchanted day!!!😊
Well you know I love mermaids and this round is amazing 😍 I have it in 2oz and I want one with a ship to 😜 lol
I hope you are having a wonderful week my sweet friend and Thank you for making me smile with Another amazing silver piece 🤗❤️🌹
SSG loves mermaids😍🥰 that is why Precious is our mascot. I think, too, that is round is very nice, @saffisara 😊. My week started hectic, and work load is escalating, my staff will be needing some incentive to keep going. Perhaps I’ll treat them to dinner this Friday. Have a great week, my friend, and take care.😍🥰❤️😘
@silversaver888 I do really like the design think they could have done a bit fewer skulls but that's just me. Obviously mythology and shipwrecks are two things I really enjoy so it's a winner in my eyes! Thanks for sharing!!

I think I prefer our mermaid, but she's definitely a great looking round.
Intaglio mint is known by the great strikes on their silver art rounds.

With all the skulls it’s perhaps a little dark, but that said I think it is beautiful myself
Hehehe, dead pirates on the sea floor!
LOL that could be it of course I didnt even think of that
A lovely version of Precious our Mermaid.
Yes... my precious in silver!

She is a beauty! What a lovely piece!
I am glad you like it! If you were made to choose, @melinda010100, which one do you like better: a silver coin like the American Silver Eagle, or a silver round like this Mermaid?
Posted using Partiko iOS
The ones I bought are silver eagles. The art coins were not even on my radar screen, but you have made me aware that there are other choices and if I have funds to purchase any more I will be looking to start purchasing with a theme in mind..women in silver would be fun.
I certainly do like that coin design. I think in general I like marine, ocean designs on coins. It adds a dimension allure to the inner pirate in me.
Thank you for sharing.
Arrr.... I can’t tell you like marine and ocean designs just by your username, @deepwaters. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, my friend!😀
