Silver medal Amor proof

Amor, or Eros, or Cupid, the son of Ares, in Greek mythology god of warfare, and Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty.

The design of the medal was inspired by antique legends. On the obverse side, the god of love Eros is ready to shoot his arrows, while the reverse side features a composition of a woman’s figure with butterfly wings - a symbol of Psyche – a woman more beautiful than Aphrodite, who – according to the legend – eventually married Eros after many hardships and suffering, and whom Jupiter pronounced immortal.
