Gorgeous Depiction of the Three Graces
Obverse: The Three Graces, the daughters of Zeus in Greek mythology, stand on the obverse before an arcade of Greek Doric columns at daybreak. The trio is dressed similarly in elegant gowns and sandals, with wreaths of laurel woven through their hair. The meander patterned border at the floor and ceiling resembles the graphics on the reverse. The modernization of Wyon's famed design is the work of Royal Mint Product Designer sculptor Daniel Thorne.
Reverse: Centered on the reverse is the inscription "1 OZ 999.9 FINE GOLD," upon a skillfully etched Greek art inspired meander patterned background. Above, "THE ROYAL MINT" is inscribed beside the Mint's distinctive heraldic shield and crown logo, with the bar's individualized serial number located below.
