But here’s one that we bet you weren’t aware of:It’s Cernunnos the Horned Forest God of the Celts. Most associated with malefertility and the stag in rut, he is literally the God of the Stag Party! Actually, thereisn’t a whole lot of information on this mysterious Celtic god, but one thing weknow for sure is that he looks positively terrifying on this fantastic coin, the thirdrelease in the Isle of Man’s popular Celtic Cross series.The Horned God of Celtic MythologyDid we say terrifying? Oh, boy is he! His thick, pointed beard and wild, shaggy hairare about his most “normal” affectations seen on this fascinating coin. The rest ofhim is all rugged mystery through and through. Crouched as if to spring on someunwary traveler, Cernunnos is depicted with the antlers of a stag and furry legs andcloven hooves. In his right hand, he holds a torc, a symbol of wealth, while hestrokes a snake with his left hand.Associated with the Greek god Pan, Cernunnos is a lusty god, who, according tosome legends dies every winter only to be resurrected each spring and impregnatethe fertile goddess of the land. And, thanks to his elongated horns, Cernunnos hasoften been mistaken as a symbol of Satan. Christians have even at times accused thepagan followers of Cernunnos as being “devil worshipers” thanks to a slew ofnineteenth-century paintings that depict Satan with large, ram-like horns much likethose sported by Cernunnos.Incredible Ultra High Relief Paired with An Antiqued FinishThe design is even more nuanced thanks to its Ultra High Relief designs struck bythe Mayer Mint using Coin Invest Trust (CIT) Smartminting® technology.
