[jcanuck]

Hmm.... haven't heard anything from Perth Mint yet. Did get an email from Downies....

 

[coffeeluver]

Just got this info in my mail. Have to say looks way better than Athena

^^^ Dolphins and boobies, a winning combination. Not sure if those seagulls pinching chips out of her hand is historically accurate.

Hmm.. She's looks a bit slutty. Would've preferred something classy like the Britannia. Perth Mint just can't get it right. Having said that, this is much better than Athena.

It can certainly be argued that the design is provocative by today's standards. I think anyone who considers this "a bit slutty" Aphrodite design not in keeping with the theme of the series, probably doesn't know much about Ancient Greece or Rome. Did the ancients worshiping Aphrodite even have a concept of a woman being slutty? I don't believe so, but if they did, in context it would have perhaps been considered a virtue, not a vice as it is today LOL. I'd argue you'd have to fast forward several centuries, into the Judaeo/Christian era for that to come into play. I think they nailed the design, and I'm guessing a lot of other folks will agree.

For those who'd rather not turn their computer monitor 90 degrees..

Wait- Is she showing some ankle?!?

Oh, the possibilities..

 

[badhop55]

This design certainly works for me. Best of the 3 in my opinion.

Easy on the eyes.

 

[SILVERCOINSSHOW]

The best design of all Goddesses series.

 

[SpacePete]

Its a segway into the Perth Mint Goddesses of the Pole series.

Finally, they get it right.
