Achilles is one of the most recognized warriors from Greek mythology. He played a central role in the Trojan War, as told in Homer’s Iliad. Known for his near invulnerability, his only weakness was his heel, which later inspired the well-known phrase “Achilles’ heel.” According to legend, his mother Thetis dipped him into the River Styx as a child, making him invincible everywhere except the heel where she held him.

The obverse of the 2023 Antique Niue Silver Achilles Coin displays the Public Seal of Niue centered within a circle of historic weapons. Niue is a self-governing island nation in the South Pacific that operates in free association with New Zealand. The country is widely recognized for issuing commemorative coinage, providing legal tender status and added credibility to limited-edition releases such as this series.

On the reverse of the 2023 2 oz Antique Silver Achilles Coin, Achilles is shown standing in armor with 24-karat gold plating highlighting key details. He appears near the walls of Troy, prepared for battle. While his leadership and fighting ability contributed to Greek victories, his story is also shaped by the loss of his companion Patroclus and the anger that followed. His life ultimately ended when Paris struck his exposed heel with a fatal arrow.
