Akupara 2 Oz UHR Silver Coin is the first coin of the World series presented by T&S Coins with mintage of only 500 coins worldwide. Across cultures, people imagined different answers. Myths gave the world a shape and its invisible supports a living form, turning questions into stories that could be told and images that could be seen.
Related turtle myths take different forms across cultures: in some Indigenous North American
traditions, land grows on a turtle’s back, while in Chinese mythology, a giant turtle’s legs
support the heavens. This coin explores Akupara from Hindu tradition — the World Turtle
supporting the elephants upon which the inhabited world rests.
Mountains rise. Rivers flow. Forests give way to ice beneath the Sun and Moon. Everything
alive above depends on the creatures below. Akupara embodies stability and endurance; the
elephants evoke strength, support and the directions of the world.
High relief reveals the composition layer by layer, while selective gilding brings warmth to
the antique silver. What looks like a landscape becomes an ancient explanation of the world.
