The story of Venus’s birth is one of the more unusual tales from Greek mythology. In the legend, the Titan Cronus cuts down his father Uranus and throws the remains into the ocean. From the sea foam that formed around them, the goddess Venus—known in Greek as Aphrodite—rose from the waves in full form. Though the myth begins with conflict, it ends with the arrival of a goddess known for her beauty. Now, BullionMax is pleased to offer the 2025 3 oz Samoa Birth of Venus 3D Shell Silver Coin online.

The outer portion of the 2025 3 oz Birth of Venus 3D Shell Silver Coin is designed to look like a clamshell. This part of the coin has sculpted 3D elements and an antique finish that gives it a timeless look. One side of the exterior features the national emblem of Samoa.

Inside the shell, you’ll find the figure of Venus. She is accented with 24-karat gold, standing in a graceful pose with long hair that flows over her body. One side of the shell holds the gold-plated figure, while the opposite side displays an inset pearl enclosed in a clear enamel coating.

This myth of Venus has inspired famous artworks, including Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus,” which shows the goddess riding a shell to shore. The story highlights the sea’s dual role as a force of chaos and creation, and Venus’s unique origin—born from sea foam without a mother—sets her apart from the rest of the gods in the Greek pantheon.

Each 2025 3 oz Samoa Birth of Venus 3D Shell Silver Coin is housed in a custom clamshell-style display case. The coin has an antique finish throughout and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Venus’s form inside the shell is richly plated in 24-karat gold for added detail.
