Description
Discover the sixth masterpiece in the acclaimed Numismatic Icons series — a stunning tribute to the majestic lion, symbol of the god Apollo. This beautifully crafted coin captures the essence of ancient Leontini, a prominent Greek colony in Sicily, celebrated for its agricultural wealth and spiritual heritage.
The design features a powerful lion, emblematic of Apollo's strength, protection, and divine guidance. Revered as the god of the arts, healing, and light, Apollo also served as the patron deity of Greek colonies. His symbolic presence on this coin underscores Leontini’s sacred connection to him and highlights its strategic and spiritual significance in the ancient world.
Complementing the lion is a grain of barley — a nod to the region’s rich fertility and agricultural prosperity. The inclusion of "CI" numerals pays homage to the traditions of ancient Greek coinage, indicating the coin’s origin with authenticity and historic elegance.
Struck in three exceptional specifications in both silver and gold, this limited edition offers collectors a chance to own a piece of classical heritage — a shining emblem of power, abundance, and divine favour.
