This gold coloured coin features Chiron the Centaur.
Chiron was the eldest and wisest of the Centaurs, a tribe of half-horse men. But unlike the rest of this tribe he was an immortal god, a son of the Titan Kronos and half-brother of Zeus.
Chiron was known for his exceptional goodness and wisdom. He became the tutor for a number of famous greek heros including: Achilles, Aesculapius, Actaeon.
Despite his immortality he was to end up dying. Hercules stopped to vist Pholus. Hercules was thirsty and persuaded Pholus to open a jar of wine that was the common property of the centaurs. The other centaurs smelled the wine and came running. A fight broke out between Hercules and the centaurs. Chiron took no part in the fight but, was accidentally wounded by Hercules. As an immortal Chiron could not die but, lived in terrible pain.
Chiron then chose to trade his life for the release of Prometheus.
