Altius - Higher
Inspired by the classical heritage of the Olympic Games and combined with modern sporting achievement, each of the three coins in the distinctive Higher collection features a different Roman God reflecting the second strand of the Olympic motto ‘Altius’ or ‘Higher’:
Jupiter, the God of light and the sky watches over a diver. Juno, the Queen of the Gods, who looked after the empire’s finances is depicted alongside an athlete pole vaulting. Apollo, the God of sun and the arts, overlooks Rhythmic Gymnastics.
