Arethusa. A captivating nymph and companion to the moon goddess Artemis in Greek mythology.
According to legend, she unknowingly bathed in a river belonging to the river god Alpheus, whom she inadvertently seduced with her beauty. Arethusa, wanting nothing of his advances, fled her home in Arcadia. Relentlessly pursued by Alpheus, she sought help from Artemis. The latter transformed the nymph into a stream under the sea, which emerges as a water fountain on the island of Ortygia in Syracuse, Sicily. The Syracusan coins with Arethusa’s image are said to be among the most stunning of ancient Greece and regularly achieve record prices at auctions.

The 2023 $5 Siren 2oz Silver Proof Coin, our latest nautical masterpiece, celebrates the mythical sea siren - a creature of deadly beauty. The Siren originates in ancient Greek mythology - a wicked temptress who takes the form of a half-woman, half-bird. The Roman poet Ovid wrote that the Sirens were once the human companions of Persephone, the daughter of the goddess Demeter. When Persephone was stolen by Hades, the God of the underworld, Demeter turned the Sirens into birds as punishment. The legend of the Siren, as the creatures who lured sailors to their deaths with the irresistible sweetness of their song, was further disseminated through the works of Homer, when the hero Odysseus faced them in his long journey back to Ithaca. In modern times, the Siren is often portrayed as a stunning, but lethal, mermaid – the quintessential temptress capable of luring hardened sailors to their death with her hypnotic song. It is this desirable denizen of the deep that has been brilliantly depicted on the reverse of this spectacularly struck Niue legal tender coin.

The silver coin of the Czech Mint from the gift series with motifs of 12 signs of the zodiac will become not only a beautiful, but also a valuable talisman for everyone who was born in the sign of Aquarius.
Aquarius, Latin for Aquarius, is one of the oldest observed constellations in the zodiac. It is associated with a number of legends, but in all of them it has the form of a man with a bucket, a jug or other vessel. In Egyptian mythology, Aquarius caused the flooding of the Nile, in Greek myths it was Zeus who punished sinful humanity with a stream of water. The celestial ruler of the born in the sign of Aquarius is the planet Uranus, which in astrology is a symbol of change, coups, unrest, but also originality. Aquarius is often given a desire for freedom and the demolition of old order. Therefore, they often become thinkers, discoverers, artists and visionaries who are ahead of their time. Sometimes, however, they also show inadaptability and a tendency to be different at all costs. Surprisingly, the element of aquarius is not water, but air which signifies extraterrestrial thinking.
he coin of a non-traditional oval shape bears a colored image of Aquarius in the form of an ancient man with an amphora on the reverse side. Photographs or computer graphics were not used as a template for coloring - the author of the coin, Asamat Baltaev, DiS., created an original watercolor painting. The relief in the background behind Aquarius presents a disk with a dozen zodiac signs. The composition of the reverse side is supplemented with a Latin inscription of AQUARIUS and an astrological symbol. Since the coins of the Czech Mint are licensed by a foreign issuer, the island of Niue, their obverse sides bear its national emblem, the nominal value of ONE DOLLAR (NZD) and the year of issue 2021. All this is surrounded by twelve astrological signs.
The coin is stored in an elegant box.

This could probably be the way to describe this nanny. She is attentive, charming, creative, but most importantly, she manages to do everything in time and is able to change the world for the better. This nanny symbolizes strong women who, like a real Jill of all trades, keeps up with everything and knows how to take care of everyone, so that no one is left unhappy. After all, there are so many different needs and so many different expectations in a house with children. The greatest challenge in the family is to understand and support each other. It seems that this is what the Magical Nanny is teaching us.

The Twelve Olympians in the Zodiac - Ares & Scorpio Samoa 0.20 $ 2021 Gold plated Copper/Nickel coin
Face value: 0.2 $
Issuing country: Samoa
Weight: 25 g
Diameter: 40 mm
Scorpio is the second Mars sign, and the one that most relates to Ares: while the fiery aspects of Aries might relate to him to some extent, it’s the more emotional Scorpio that resonates closer to him and his primal nature. As the later Autumn sign, Scorpio is related to Winter’s start, and thus to sunset-like conditions: as the Sun dims, so does life. Scorpio is defined by it’s loyalty bordering on possessiveness, as well as a rather strong impulsive nature but consciously made subtle or even outright hidden. Ares displays a surprising amount of loyalty to his family, even when most of Olympus doesn’t like him very much, and while numerous, his affairs are occult, unlike Zeus’ or Apollo’s. This reflects water as darkness: driven by strong impulses, but with the element of mystery and hidden nature. Due to Scorpio’s vindictiveness and hidden nature, it is often considered the most malign of the signs, just as Ares is the most distrusted of the Olympians, but neither are “evil” and while unpleasant they are necessary for the inner workings of nature. Darkness is after all important to health in it’s Melatonin friendliness, especially when it’s connected to water.

Eclecticism is the combination or mixing of different styles, theories or ideas in order to gain complementary knowledge on a subject. The term comes from the Greek eklektikos, “to choose the best”, and that from eklektos, “picked out, select”. We have embraced this approach of choosing only the best for our 2nd edition of the Eclectic Nature series.
The eye-catching European Roller, with its radiant turquoise and azure plumage, is native to parts of Europe, northern Africa and Asia. Named for the risky dives and somersaults it performs during the display flights in courtship, the European roller is one of the Old-World birds. Its fondness for warm climate causes this long-distance migrant to spend its winters mainly in southern Africa.
