Janus

For the Ancient Romans, the god Janus held the key to good luck. Before every undertaking they would pray for his blessing. Among other things, he was a conciliator between the past and the present. The month of January gets its name from him. The Romans would pay homage to Janus on New Year’s Day by giving each other coins upon which his two faces were minted: his old one looking back to the past, his young one optimistically looking forward to the future.

Coin dedicated to the Roman God of good luck. The face of the coin features the double face of Janus, his old face on the left, his young face on the right. On the reverse of the coin are the nine coats of arms of Austria with the value of 5 euro in the centre.
