2015 2 oz Pure Silver High Relief Coin – Goddesses Of Olympus – Athena

STORY

In ancient Greek mythology, Athena was worshipped as the Goddess of Wisdom and was also the patron of the city of Athens. Athena represented courage, inspiration, law and justice, mathematics, strength, strategy, arts, and crafts. She was also considered the Goddess of War and a companion of many heroes including Odysseus, Jason, and Heracles.

Each coin is struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver.

DESIGN

The reverse of the coin depicts Athena next to an olive tree, wearing an aegis and holding a large spear in her left hand, and her shield in her right hand. She is accompanied by a serpent and an owl, with the Parthenon and ancient Athens in the background. The design includes the inscription ATHENA, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.  

To capture the depth and detail of the design, the coin is struck in high relief to a rimless format and features an antique finish.
