This 2 troy ounce silver coin depicts the Greek goddess Hera, of the twelve Olympians in the zodiac. The stars in the sky are said to have sprung from drops of milk from Hera. That is why we use the term 'Milky Way' for our galaxy. The peacock, cow and crow are animals sacred to Hera. Together with Zeus she had four children: Ares and Hephaestos (gods) and Eileithyia and Hèbè (goddesses).
Like Zeus, the goddess has control over the sky and atmosphere. For example, she can make all kinds of weather phenomena, such as thunder and lightning over the earth, descend on the earth. As the wife of Zeus, Hera enjoys great esteem in the kingdom of the gods. She is also called the queen of the Greek gods. Although Zeus and Hera clearly love each other, there is also a lot of fighting and sometimes even competition. Revenge is no stranger to the goddess. When she notices that Zeus has his eye on other women, Hera often springs into action.
On the obverse of the coin is an image of the Greek goddess Hera. At the top of the coin is the text HERA and at the bottom you see the face value 5 DOLLARS.
The reverse of the coin depicts the 12 constellations in circle. Both the effigy and the zodiac sign are beautifully depicted for each constellation. The centre of the coin features an effigy of queen Elizabeth II together with the text Elizabeth II and SAMOA 2022.
This special coin has an antique finish. The coin comes in an elegant packaging with certificate of authenticity. Limited mintage of 999 pieces worldwide.
The gift box is specially designed for this collectible coin. The front of the box features an image similar to the one on the front of the coin. The overall design is finished with various shades of blue, giving the packaging a mythical look to match the design of the collectible coin.
