The Gold Village at Art in Coins

We’re thrilled to present Mother of Dragon: Tiamat, the first issue in a new Legends of Babylon series from the Gold Village and Cameroon.

The story:

At the heart of Babylonian mythology, few figures stand as imposing and timeless as Tiamat, the primordial goddess of chaos, creation, and destruction. Revered as the Mother of Dragons, she is both the giver of life and the force of destruction that shaped the cosmos. Her story is one of rebellion, power, and the eternal struggle between order and chaos, a tale as old as the universe itself. From her celestial waters, she birthed the first serpents, dragons, and divine creatures, only to later rise against the younger gods who sought to impose order upon her realm. Her battle with Marduk, the hero of Babylon, defined the mythological struggle between chaos and order, destruction and renewal.

Reverse:

The reverse of this stunning coin depicts Tiamat in a moment of tranquil power, blending serenity and awe with key design points.

• A Regal Profile: Her calm and commanding expression symbolizes her control over chaos and her divinity as a cosmic creator.

• The Serpent Crown: Tiamat’s crown is adorned with a coiled serpent, a symbol of her maternal connection to serpents and dragons, as well as her infinite power over creation. The serpent itself is accented with gold foil, with emerald-green eyes glowing with life and energy.

• Luminous Accents: Emerald-green highlights on her crown and cheek reflect her connection to the primordial waters of chaos and the life force that birthed dragons.

• Cosmic Hair and Patterns: Her flowing hair, accentuated with glowing blue and golden streaks, mimics the swirling waters of creation, emphasizing her link to the celestial and oceanic origins of life.

• A Sacred Necklace: Around her neck rests a beaded necklace in vivid purple, representing her regal status and the unity of the forces she commands—chaos, creation, and destruction.

Obverse:

The obverse offers a dramatic glimpse into Tiamat’s legacy, featuring one of her most magnificent creations – a celestial dragon born of chaos.

• The Dragon’s Gaze: The dragon’s profile is fierce yet majestic, its glowing golden eye radiating intelligence and raw power, a fitting tribute to its divine origins.

• Ethereal Energy: The dragon is surrounded by swirling blue luminescence, reflecting the chaotic energy of the primordial waters that gave it life. The glowing accents breathe life into the design, making the dragon seem as if it is rising directly from the coin.

• Intricate Scales: Each scale is masterfully rendered, highlighting the creature’s elegance and strength.

• Cosmic Swirl: The background forms a dynamic spiral of cosmic waters, symbolizing the dragon’s emergence from Tiamat’s creative chaos and anchoring the reverse in the mythology of Babylon.
