Hera – 1 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver Round

Regal, composed, and unmistakably powerful, Hera takes her place in silver as queen of the Olympian gods. This Greek Mythology round presents the goddess seated with a staff and peacock, bringing her traditional symbols into a detailed one-ounce design.

Queen of Olympus

In Greek mythology, Hera was both the wife and sister of Zeus and held a central place among the Olympians. Associated with marriage and the lives of women, she represented authority within both the divine household and the human world of family and commitment.

Many surviving stories explore her conflicts with Zeus and her interventions in the lives of heroes. Yet her importance extended well beyond those dramatic tales. Ancient sanctuaries and offerings testify to her place in religious practice: the British Museum preserves objects connected with her worship at Argos and Samos, including cups dedicated to the goddess.

The peacock is one of Hera’s most recognizable attributes. Its connection with her appears even on ancient coinage from Samos, where a head of Hera was paired with the bird. On this modern round, the peacock brings that long artistic association into the foreground.

Obverse Design

Hera sits holding a staff in her right hand and cradling a peacock in her left. The seated pose emphasizes her status, while the bird provides an immediate clue to her identity. HERA appears near the two o’clock position, completing the composition.

Reverse Design

A Greek architectural dome rises above surrounding pillars and a base. GREEK MYTHOLOGY appears across the ceiling elements, connecting the design to its wider series, with the hallmark along the lower circumference.
