The silver coin Winged Victory is dedicated to the goddess of victory 'Nike'. In Greek mythology, Nike was invited to live on Mount Olympus by Zeus, the king of the gods, as a reward for becoming his charioteer during the Titan War. Guiding Zeus’s horses through the battlefields, she is said to have bestowed fame and glory in the form of laurel wreaths on his victorious army. The design by the renowned engraver John M. Mercanti shows an Art Deco style interpretation of Nike. Her muscular figure, as a symbol of strength, is seen kneeling as she honors an unseen hero with a victory laurel in the palm of her right hand. She holds a sword in a non-threatening position low on her left side as a gesture of respect. Also included in the design are the inscription "WINGED VICTORY" and the traditional mintmark "P" of the Perth Mint. The reverse shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the denomination, the year of issue and the fineness. The limited High Relief proof coin struck from one ounce of 99,99% pure silver is delivered in the original box including a certificate of authenticity from the Perth Mint.
