2022 $2 Ouroboros 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured CoinDerived from a Greek word meaning 'tail-devourer', the ouroboros is an ancient symbol portraying a snake or serpent eating its own tail. Appearing in a variety of ancient cultures and beliefs as a circular or eight shaped symbol, it represented 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. In modern mysticism and popular culture, the ouroboros encapsulates these ancient mythical and mathematical connotations as a celebration of eternity.Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz 99.9% pure silver and issued as legal tender under theAustralia Currency Act 1965.The Perth Mint will release no more than 2,000 of the Ouroboros 2022 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coins.The coin's reverse features the infinity-shaped coloured impression of a snake consuming its tail, also included on the reverse is The Perth Mint's 'P' Mintmark.The coin's obverse portrays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2022 year-date and the monetary denomination, along with the inscriptions of the coin's weight, purity, monetary denomination and year-date.Each coin has been 'antiqued' by hand to give it a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an aged artefact.
