In Greek mythology, Ares symbolized the untamed nature of war — not only strategy or wisdom, but the very pulse of battle, chaos, and raw instinct inherent to conflict itself. Aphrodite, by contrast, embodied love, beauty, and desire. Born from the sea foam, she was revered as the source of passion and fertility, a goddess whose influence transcended both gods and mortals. Ancient myths tell of their secret union, a bond fueled by irresistible passion that defied even Aphrodite’s marriage to Hephaestus.
This coin embodies the idea that war and love arise from the same primal force — passion, desire, and irresistible attraction. These are two distinct, yet equally powerful energies. Ares and Aphrodite emerge not only as deities, but as timeless archetypes revealing the nature of longing, power, and desire. Aphrodite’s beauty is accentuated by her symbols — blooming roses, long associated with passion and seduction. She is portrayed as tall, graceful, and radiant, her neck adorned with a certified diamond, a delicate 0.02 ct gem shimmering like the very light of love.
