Title:
Ariel Tree Fairy
Description:
Obverse: Image of Ariel. The inspiration behind the design concept comes from Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest.” Written in 1610-11, it is said to be the last he wrote alone and follows a plot to restore the sorcerer Prospero’s daughter Miranda to her rightful place through illusion and skillful manipulation. Ariel is depicted on the obverse of these rounds levitating in front of a cloven oak tree. Her figure is angelic and soft, with her hair and dress flowing in the breeze. The image of Ariel is set against the imposing oak tree, with its bearded face, muscular roots, and powerful limbs reaching out to take her in its clutches.
Reverse: Includes the scarab beetle design. Used on all three previous Silver Fairy releases, this latest beetle is now hand-carved for the series to bring added depth and beauty to the design itself.
