$5 Silver Proof Colour Printed Domed Coin In Greek and Roman mythology, the peacock was sacred to Hera (or Juno), Goddess of Women and Marriage who was also the wife of Zeus; she was said to have adorned the tail feathers of the bird with the thousand eyes of her giant servant, Argus Panoptes, as a tribute after he was slain. 

The constellation is said to depict a male peacock who has erected and fanned out his train, drooped his half- open wings to his sides, and is strutting and prancing from one foot to the other, shivering from time to time. This produces a spectacular shimmering, psychedelic display and an amazing coin. Just as the peacock is a symbol of the greatness of an ancient Goddess, so is the Pavo coin a symbol of the Mint's continued commitment to produce breathtakingly innovative collectible coins.

The coin has been expertly crafted by Mint designer, Aaron Baggio, and shows the Pavo constellation as it appears in the early night sky. The celestial coordinates of the starry image encircle the outer rim of the coin.
