Artemis is portrayed in stunning detail in a rimless, antique-finished & ultra high relief .999 silver coin. The design is further complemented with select gold gilding on the reverse.

Coin delivers in a deluxe wood box along with the Certificate of Authenticity.

Extremely limited mintage of only 500 pieces worldwide.

Backstory:

Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto, and twin sister of Apollo, was goddess of chastity, hunting, wild animals, forests, childbirth, and fertility. Convincing her father to grant her wishes, Artemis desired to remain forever chaste and unmarried and always to be equipped for hunting. The goddess was also associated with the moon and was the patron of young women, particularly brides-to-be, who dedicated their toys to her as symbolic of the transition to full adulthood and the assumption of a wife’s responsibilities.
