DESCRIPTION
Hecate, the ancient Greek goddess of witchcraft, the moon, and crossroads, stands shrouded in mystery and divine knowledge — a figure at the threshold between life and death.
This 2 oz silver coin captures her symbolic essence: the snake coiled across her shoulders represents secret wisdom, rebirth, and the eternal cycle. In one hand, she holds a flaming skull — a beacon in darkness — and in the other, a gilded key, signifying her power to unlock the boundaries between worlds. At her side, a faithful hound watches over the liminal paths. Governing the unseen, Hecate keeps magic and rituals alive.
