Is This The God of the Stag Party?
Throughout the many pagan religions that once populated the world, one can find a god or deity for almost anything. But here’s one that we bet you weren’t aware of: It’s Cernunnos the Horned Forest God of the Celts. Most commonly associated with male fertility and the stag in rut, he is literally the God of the Stag Party! Actually, there isn’t a whole lot of information on this mysterious Celtic god, but one thing we know for sure is that he looks positively terrifying on this fantastic coin, the third release in the Isle of Man’s popular Celtic Cross series.
The Horned God of Celtic Mythology
Did we say terrifying? Oh boy is he! His thick, pointed beard and wild, shaggy hair are about his most “normal” affectations seen on this fascinating coin. The rest of him is all rugged mystery through and through. Crouched as if to spring on some unwary traveler, Cernunnos is depicted with the antlers of a stag and furry legs and cloven hooves. In his right hand he holds a torc, a symbol of wealth, while he strokes a snake with his left hand.
Associated with the Greek god Pan, Cernunnos is a lusty god, who, according to some legends dies every winter only to be resurrected each spring and impregnate the fertile goddess of the land. And, thanks to his elongated horns, Cernunnos has often been mistaken as a symbol of Satan. Christians have even at times accused the pagan followers of Cernunnos as being “devil worshipers” thanks to a slew of nineteenth-century paintings that depict Satan with large, ram-like horns much like those sported by Cernunnos.
Incredible Ultra High Relief Paired with An Antiqued Finish
The design is even more nuanced thanks to its Ultra High Relief designs struck by the Mayer Mint using Coin Invest Trust (CIT) Smartminting® technology. Th deep grooves paired with the fantastic high relief creates an almost three-dimensional effect. And to highlight that effect into an even greater optical masterpiece, each coin has been layered with an exquisite antiqued finish. The result is nothing short of breathtaking.
