2023 St. Helena 5 oz Silver Goddesses: Eos and the Horses Proof

---

The 2023 St. Helena five-ounce silver coin represents the second release in the celebrated Goddesses series. Struck in five ounces of highly refined 0.999 fine silver, this modern piece features a brilliant proof finish that highlights the intricate details of its classical design. With a limited mintage of only 500 pieces, the coin showcases the artistry of designer Joel Iskowitz, bringing ancient mythology into a contemporary format. On the reverse, the Greek goddess of the dawn, Eos, is depicted riding her majestic chariot through the sky to usher in a new day. The design captures the movement of her powerful steeds, which are identified by the reverse inscriptions "Daybright" and "Firebright." This dramatic scene is rendered with deep contrast and fine lines, emphasizing the energy of the celestial horses as they pull the chariot through the heavens. The obverse features the official effigy of King Charles III. Surrounding the portrait are inscriptions indicating the issuing territory of St. Helena, the face value of 5 Pounds, and the year of issue, 2023. This side serves as an elegant, formal counterpart to the fluid and mythic storytelling found on the reverse.
