Surprised no one has mentioned these Mason Mint rounds (.999 silver) before, available in antique finish as well. First release was Atlantis, second was Asgard. Atlantis Description: Obverse displays the Greek god Poseidon, known as the ruler of the seas. Poseidon is shown in full regalia and in exquisite detail. In addition to donning his undersea armor, he wears a crown and holds his traditional trident (three-pronged spear). Fish and an ionic-style temple can be seen in the background. Seashells and squids fill the outer rim design, separating the inscriptions "POSEIDON" at the bottom and "OCEAN EMPEROR" at the top. Reverse displays a view of the mythological ruins of Atlantis, the undersea city. Sharks, stingrays, and other aquatic life can be seen swimming among the city's ancient buildings and ionic columns. A school of jellyfish are visible in the background while a whale passes by the city's central rotunda. The inscriptions "THE LOST CITY OF" and "ATLANTIS" are divided between the top and bottom rim. Asgard Description: Obverse displays Odin, the formidable deity in Norse and Germanic traditions. He is shown wearing his eye patch and a winged helmet, joined by his two ravens, looking every bit as intimidating as one would expect from a powerful god. The background includes a radiant sun and the cosmic tree at the center of the universe, Yggdrasil. Rim inscriptions include "YGGDRASIL" at the top and "ODIN" along the bottom. Reverse displays Bifröst, the great bridge between the Earth and the realm of the gods . The bridge itself is a burning rainbow and leads to Asgard, the dwelling place of the Norse gods. An ornate fortification is shown at the end of the winding bridge, surrounded by clouds and a forest. "ASGARD" is found at the bottom rim while "CROSSING BIFRÖST" is inscribed along the top rim.
It's too bad it isn't high relief - the design actually deserves to be highlighted even more with greater depth (I also wouldn't mind seeing a larger 2 oz version). It's a well thought out design and goes beyond most rounds, actually looking like something that should be on a more expensive numi. Thankfully, it's not expensive
LiquidBullion is another place that seems to have them and ships internationally: Atlantis, Asgard. The coins don't seem to be available in many places (there's always ebay, I guess) which is unfortunate given the nice design.
