Description:
Celebrate the divine guardian of the harvest with this 1 AVDP oz .999 fine copper round from Intaglio Mint’s Greek Mythology Series. Demeter—goddess of agriculture, grain, and the turning of the seasons—remains one of the most essential and cherished deities in ancient lore. This copper release honors her enduring influence over growth, nourishment, and the rhythms that sustain life.
The obverse depicts Demeter in a beautifully detailed classical scene. Her flowing hair and soft drapery echo the movement of fertile fields, while she carries a woven basket brimming with wheat, fruit, and fresh bounty. Every element—from the ripened grain to the serene landscape behind her—is engraved with crisp, intaglio-style depth, emphasizing her role as the nurturer of humanity.
The reverse displays the Greek Mythology Series’ signature architectural mandala. Surrounded by classical columns, ornamental patterns, and stylized Greek lettering, the central emblem unites every piece in this celebrated series.
The Legend:
Demeter is revered as the giver of agriculture—the one who taught mankind how to cultivate the earth and thrive from its gifts. Her profound sorrow over the loss of her daughter Persephone is said to have ushered in the world’s first winter, binding the cycles of life, death, and rebirth to her divine heart. The return of spring, marked by Persephone’s reunion with her mother, symbolizes hope, renewal, and the promise of abundance.
