Description

The ‘Jason and Medea’ 2 oz coin encapsulates themes of love, betrayal,
and revenge, woven into the ancient tale of tragic lovers. As a trophy on
the shoulder, the gilded Golden Fleece stands out as a symbol of ultimate
achievement and the central object of Jason’s quest. Medea, a powerful
sorceress, initially aids Jason out of love, using her magic to help him secure
the Fleece and escape. Their story evolves darkly following Jason’s betrayal.
The coin’s high-relief imagery evokes a moment of promise and partnership,
before the later turmoil that would unravel their fates.
