Each of these 2015 Antique Tuvalu Goddesses of Olympus Aphrodite 2 oz Silver Coins are produced with very unique visuals. For starters, the coins are struck on thicker 2 oz blanks in high relief. This means the design element is struck several times with great pressure into the surface of the coin, in the process creating a sunken field with greater visual depth to the design element. Additionally, each coin is rimless and has an antique polish, both of which help create the appearance of an ancient coin.

Obverse

On the obverse of the 2015 Antique Tuvalu Goddesses of Olympus Aphrodite 2 oz Silver Coin is a depiction of Queen Elizabeth II.

Reverse

The reverse side of 2015 Antique Tuvalu Goddesses of Olympus Aphrodite Coins includes an image of the goddesses of love and beauty sitting on Aphrodites Rock. Among the symbols often associated with Aphrodite, you will find a dove perched on her right hand and swan stretching its wings in front of her where the word Aphrodite is inscribed. There are also dolphins laying in the water around the rock and she holds a mirror in her left hand.

History

Aphrodite is famously remembered as the goddess of love, pleasure, sexuality, and passion from the ancient world. She is third in the Goddesses of Olympus Series. It was so-named because Mount Olympus was the cloud-covered mountain peak where humans of the ancient world believed the gods and goddesses resided. Hera was the first goddess in the series and is remembered as the sister-wife of Zeus, as well as the Queen of the Gods on Mount Olympus. Athena was second in the collection and was the powerful goddess of warfare.
