2022 Ouroboros Figure 8 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin
Powerful symbolism
The coin’s shape arises from two powerful symbols. The ouroboros portrays a snake eating its own tail to represent the regenerative cycle of life, enlightenment and renewal. A horizontal eight-shaped symbol was first used mathematically in the 17th century to denote the concept of the endless and unlimited. A line that never ends, it is commonly known as the infinity symbol.
Antique and colour treatments
Portraying a snake consuming its tail, the antiqued piece is further enhanced with variegated tinting along the snake’s head and body. Also included in the design is The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
