The coin features the most mysterious of the Celtic gods, Cernunnos – Lord of the Wild Things, the Celtic antlered god. Cernunnos, a forest deity, is associated with fertility, life, animals and wealth. The most famous depiction of Cernunnos is on a silver vessel, an artifact that dates between 200 BC and 300 AD, the Gundestrup Cauldron. On the Gundestrup Cauldron the stag-antlered man is seated cross legged holding and wearing a torc in one hand while holding a ram-horned serpent in the other hand surrounded by a stag, wolf and other creatures. Torcs are large open front neck rings that identify the wearer, in this case a supreme deity, as one with power, riches and high social status. The sacred ram-horned serpent is associated with healing, wisdom and fertility. Both the stag and snake are symbols of rebirth as the stag sheds its antlerseach year to grow new ones in the spring, so does the snake shed his skin. Cernunnos is a peaceful god of nature with a powerful pagan influence.
