In Greek Mythology, Medusa, was one of the three monstrous Gorgons, generally described as winged human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. While ancient Greek vase-painters and relief carvers imagined Medusa and her sisters as having monstrous form, sculptors and vase-painters of the fifth century began to envisage her as being beautiful as well as terrifying. Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden, but Minerva punished Medusa by transforming her beautiful hair into horrible snakes. This item is in the category “Coins & Paper Money\Bullion\Silver\Coins”.
