A stag sits in the background, surrounded by a forest of trees, realised with a very impressive level of relief and detail.

STORY
Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto, and twin sister of Apollo, was goddess of chastity, hunting, wild animals, forests, childbirth, and fertility. Convincing her father to grant her wishes, Artemis desired to remain forever chaste and unmarried and always to be equipped for hunting. The goddess was also associated with the moon and was the patron of young women, particularly brides-to-be, who dedicated their toys to her as symbolic of the transition to full adulthood and the assumption of a wife’s responsibilities.
The silver coin has an antique finish with selective 24K Gold plating and the shield has a wooden inlay,
