DESCRIPTION
The first coin from the third release portrays a Titan god of fire – Prometheus. On a 55 mm composition, he appears with a gilded fire, where people are reaching out from below for help in high relief. Prometheus defied the ancient gods, having stolen fire and given it to humanity. He has been worshiped for creating mortals and giving them the necessary gift to survive. For his actions, the Titan carried out eternal torment, sentenced by Zeus. He survived 30 000 years of agony. Each day in chains on the edge of the mountain waiting for an eagle to attack him and regenerate later, all to repeat it the next day.
