According to Greek Mythology, Medusa was part of a group of monsters known as Gorgons. She was the daughter of the sea gods Phorcys and Ceto and differed from the other Gorgons in that she was mortal. The most iconic depictions show Medusa as a woman with wings and a head of snakes. While these details make Medusa a truly frightening presence, her appearance was not always this way. Earlier in her life, Medusa possessed great beauty. However, she sustained the wrath of Athena due to poor behavior, which included a possible affair with Poseidon. Medusa was then transformed into the monstrous figure depicted on the 1 Pound Medusa Copper Bars. As the story goes, her head was later cut off by the hero Perseus, who then used it to protect his mother and turn their enemies to stone. Eventually, he presented the head to Athena, where she placed it on her shield. 1 Pound Medusa Copper Bars arrive in a rectangular shape and are protected in plastic and/or bubble wrap. The obverse of the bar features the words Anonymous Mint at the top. Beneath this is a circle in which we see Medusa looking straight out. A sea of snakes protrudes from her head like hair. She looks at us with a sinister expression. Beneath this image are the words 1 Pound, followed by .999 Fine Copper and the letters USA.
