The GoldSilver.com Modern Ancients series pays homage to the invention of money, whereby gold and silver were separated and made into units of equal weight. The fifth silver round in the series features the Greek goddess Athena. Each coin in this series will bring an ancient coin back to life with stunning artwork.

The front of the 10 oz Athena features the ancient Greek goddess, Athena, who first appeared on coins minted over two thousand years ago. And its extra large size and mirror finish highlight all the intricate detail of Athena in her epic pose. 

The first Athena coins were minted over 2,500 years ago in the influential city-state named for the goddess: Athens, Greece. 

Our Athena Silver Round pays homage to the original and beautifully re-imagines the Goddess Athena with shield raised, standing ready to protect the people of Athens. 

She is pictured in front of the Parthenon, the birthplace of democracy, ready to defend it from invaders. Her helmet is a traditional Hoplite helmet with an owl, a symbol of knowledge and the animal most often associated with the goddess. 

Athena is a warrior, but unlike her war-like uncle Ares, a rational one. She embodies the ability to give judgment based on logic. 

Athena battles for principles rather than passion or anger. The Ancient Greeks revered her intelligence, knowing she would come to the aid of those deserving. 

That is why the word “JUSTICE” is inscribed on the front of the round, along with the 2018 year-date. The mirror nish accentuates the raised, stunning form of Athena. 

The intricately designed back of this .999 ne silver round features the iconic GoldSilver crest (https://goldsilver.com/blog/whats-themeaning-behind-the-shield-on-the-goldsilver-products/), bearing the phrase "Free Markets & Free People” with a lion and bull near the center as tribute to their appearance on the rst coins ever minted, millennia ago in Lydia

The reverse features the inscription "Free Markets & Free People." A Bull & Lion appear as well, paying homage to mankind's first ever money coined in Lydia, in approximately 680 B.C.

It includes an elegant acrylic display case, making it a perfect decorative accent for your home or office. The case is held together by four rare-earth neodymium magnets – strong enough to securely protect your investment, but easy to open should you want a closer look

The reverse features the Lydian Bull and Lion, a fitting homage to mankind's first true money coined in Lydia in approximately 560 BC. The bull and lion surround a crest that is divided into four quadrants, each with an image and the crest is capped by a sun, symbolizing enlightenment. Below the crest is the symbol for wealth cycles, which closes resembles the symbol for infinity, and in the scroll work is the formula revealed in the video series "Hidden Secrets of Money" by Mike Maloney.
