The obverse of the coin portrays the head of Athena wearing an Attic helmet decorated with olive leaves and a palmette. The image depicted on the reverse is an owl together with an olive branch, a crescent and the inscription ΑΘΕ for Athens. The coin is handset in a 22K bezel. As part of the curated set, the golden lantern charm draws inspiration from a scene in the Odyssey.

As the sun rises earlier every morning it is a perfect time to revisit Homer's poetry about Eos, the Dawn goddess, who ascends her golden chariot daily to illuminate the morning sky. In her translation of the Odyssey, Emily Wilson consciously breaks from tradition by avoiding a formulaic description of Eos' early appearance in the sky. Instead Wilson describes Eos' arrival in a variety of ways throughout the epic, reflecting the refreshed and unique quality of each new day. Among my favorite renderings from Wilson are \"Early the Dawn appeared, pink fingers blooming,\" and \"Soon Dawn was born, her fingers bright with roses\".  I have tried to capture the beauty of this poetry in the Calder Collection's  \"Sunrise\" necklace. This necklace is sold as a set for $2870. The cast coin depicts the Dawn goddess riding her horse-drawn chariot across the sky at sunrise.

Artemis is frequently accompanied by a retinue of dogs, deer, and other wild animals.
