Beyond the torchlight, the walls of Troy still rise – and Odysseus leans over the map in search of the path that no army has found. This coin captures the moment an idea took shape: the King of Ithaca, the fortress, and the wooden horse that would end the war without a single clash of weapons.

There will be a plan.

Night falls. Beyond the torchlight, the walls of Troy still rise against the horizon, while Odysseus leans over the map in search of the one path that no army has found.

Odysseus was King of Ithaca, one of the most celebrated heroes of Greek mythology, and the strategist whose ingenuity would bring the war to its end. Where others saw an unconquered city, he saw a challenge to be understood. He observed, calculated, and waited for the opening that violence had failed to find.

The answer was a wooden horse. No clash of weapons, no battle cry, just a man, an impossible challenge, and the moment an idea took shape. In that silence, thought became action, and history changed course.

Odysseus, the new silver collector coin, returns to this pivotal moment. A map, a fortress, and the wooden horse surround the King of Ithaca as the plan begins to take shape, with the focus not on the battle, but on the mind behind it.

Odysseus begins the Odyssey, a series inspired by Homer's epic and the long journey home to Ithaca. The gates to victory over Troy also opened the way home. Beyond them lay the journey that would shape his legend, where intelligence, foresight, and determination would remain his greatest strengths.

The war was about to end. The Odyssey has only just begun.
