The myth of Venus’s birth tells of a violent origin for the goddess of love and beauty. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, when the Titan Cronus castrated his father Uranus with a sickle, he cast the severed genitals into the sea. From the foam (aphros) that gathered around them, Venus—also known as Aphrodite—emerged fully formed and radiantly beautiful. This classic Greek tale, though gruesome, is in reality linked to a mythical figure of incomparable beauty. Now, 2025 3 oz Samoa Birth of Venus 3D Shell Silver Coins are available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
On the exterior of the 2025 3 oz Birth of Venus 3D Shell Silver Coin, you’ll find beautiful 3D reliefs replicating the appearance of a clamshell. Finished with an antique polish, the piece has a gorgeous, ancient appeal. The Samoan coat of arms is found on one of the exterior sides of the clamshell design.
The interview of the 2025 Samoa Birth of Venus 3D Shell Silver Coin depicts the figure of Venus completed with a thin layer of 24-karat gold Venus stands in an elegant pose as her hair drapes down her body to cover parts of her figure. While Venus is found on one side of the interior of the shell, the inset pearl is found on the other.
The dramatic nativity story of Venus inspired some of Western art’s most celebrated works, most famously Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” (c. 1485), which depicts the goddess standing nude on a giant scallop shell, her golden hair modestly covering parts of her body as she’s blown toward shore by the wind gods Zephyr and Aura. The myth reflects ancient Mediterranean maritime cultures’ reverence for the sea as both destroyer and creator, while Venus’s unusual parentage—born without a mother—established her as a primal force separate from the familial hierarchies that governed other Olympian deities.
These 2025 3 oz Samoa Birth of Venus 3D Shell Silver Coins are available in a clamshell-shaped presentation box. Each coin has an antique polish throughout the exterior and interior fields of this unique folding, clamshell coin. Venus’ figure within the clamshell is plated in 24-karat gold and the coins come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
