In ancient Greek religion, Hera is the goddess of marriage, women and family, and the protector of women in childbirth. Hera was the sister and wife of Zeus. She was renowned for her beauty.
Zeus had many extramarital affairs, which made her likewise renowned for vengefulness toward Zeus and his mistresses. The cuckoo and peacock are associated with her. Hera has also been depicted riding in a chariot pulled by peacocks.
Hera is shown holding a scepter and she is crowned with a polos or diadem. Her Roman counterpart is Juno.
I like the many details of the coin, especially the feathers of the peacocks.
What do you think of this series? Let's us see what they will come up with next.
