Description
A legend reborn. The Black Swan is a newly revived historical coin from the Glow of History collection — a series that allows the oldest symbols of civilization to shine again in a new light.
The coin is inspired by the symbolism of ancient Ionia, where the swan was the sacred bird of Apollo, a sign of beauty, harmony, and divine order.
It is one of the earliest Ionian silver coin types — quietly submerged in history, yet never losing its power. Born in the city of Klazomenai, in Ionia (Asia Minor), it belongs to the very dawn of coinage, a time when money was not merely a means of exchange, but a bearer of identity, divine protection, and destiny, struck into silver.
The Black Swan is a symbol of the unexpected and of the impossible becoming real. For centuries, the world believed all swans were white — until the black swan was discovered, shattering assumptions and changing perception. In the same way, this coin returns as a surprise from the depths of history: a forgotten Ionian symbol, reborn in a limited mintage, for one place and one moment only. Like the black swan itself, it breaks the pattern — rare, unpredictable, and truly unique.
The coin is struck in pure 999 fine silver, issued in a limited edition, and marked with a special designation and the emblem of the German city Ampelian.
The Black Swan will be presented and offered for sale exclusively at the World Money Fair — the only time and place where collectors will have the opportunity to become owners of this reborn symbol.
This is not just a coin.
It is the return of history, immortalized in precious metal.
