Apollo is featured in numerous myths and stories, including his conflicts with other gods and his love affairs. One of the most famous stories involves his pursuit of the nymph Daphne, who was transformed into a laurel tree to escape him. In fact, Apollo was sometimes linked with nature and had associations with animals, such as the wolf and the dolphin.

On the obverse of 2023 Tuvalu Gods of Olympus Apollo Gold Coins, you will find the portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Designed in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, this right-profile relief with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara on her head was the longest-used effigy of the Queen.
The reverse side of 2023 1 oz Tuvalu Apollo Gold Coins comes with a depiction of the Greek deity holding a small harp. Though Apollo was said to be a patron of the arts, including music, he is also prominently known as a skilled archer and was sometimes associated with warfare. In the “Iliad,” he supports the Trojans in the Trojan War.
