This 2 troy ounce pure silver (99.9%) coin depicts the Greek goddess Deméter, where the virgin stands as a symbol for her in mythology. Deméter is the goddess of agriculture and when her daughter survived she was so sad that she didn't make sure the corn grew. A famine then broke out. To make Deméter feel a little better again, Zeus arranged for her to live with Perséphoné in the kingdom of the dead for half the year. The other half of the year she had to take care of the harvest. Because of this arrangement, in mid-August it will be time for the farmers to bring in their harvest. After that, not much will grow. Only when the Virgin can be seen again throughout the night in the spring, can you count on it, that Deméter will be back, and the wheat will start growing again. This special coin has an antique finish, has a diameter of 45mm and comes in an elegant package.
