Dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds, ice giant Neptune is the eighth
and most distant planet in our Solar System. Its atmosphere is partially made
of methane that gives Neptune this fantastic blue colour. Astronomers gave
this planet the name of the Roman god of the sea due to its bluish-ocean-like
hue. As well as on the coin, he is often shown to be an older tall man with a
long white beard. Neptune is translated from Latin as “moist”. Therefore, the
coin depicts Neptune with a three-pronged fisherman’s spear in his arms. He
is sitting on a big snail chariot pulled by whales, horses, and seahorses.
Antique finished and with digital printing, this coin is another great piece from
the “Planets and Gods” series!
