The majestic griffin adorns the fifth issue of the “Numismatic Icons” series. In Greek mythology , this fascinating hybrid of eagle and lion is considered the guardian of gold and the protector of precious treasures . The griffin is one of the most beloved mythological beings of the Middle Ages and remains a popular heraldic symbol to this day. The birthplace of these impressive griffin coins is the ancient Thracian city of Abdera.

The griffin is accompanied by the cicada , a popular additional motif on many ancient coins. The CI numerals follow the tradition of ancient Greek coinage to indicate the respective place of origin. As usual, the edition includes three fantastic specifications in silver and gold.
