VioletViolets have been given as a token of love since ancient times. The Greek poet Sappho created a poetic monument to the violet and the flower is linked with the mythological goddess of love, passion and procreation, known as Aphrodite in ancient Greece and Venus in ancient Rome. Violets are also strongly associated with devotion, so they are a delightful way to show a loved one how much they mean to you and how sincere your affection is. Dreaming of violets suggests you are in for some good fortune and success, while dreaming that you are picking violets suggests you have fallen in love, either with a person or with a project. To dream of giving violets suggests good fortune in your relationships. But let violets speak for themselves. They say: “I stand by you, come what may”. When giving violets, you give the gift of friendship and solidarity. Language of Flowers SeriesWhether to convey feelings of love, desire and friendship, congratulations and condolence, declarations of intent and even forbidden and unspeakable things, flowers have been used as a form of language throughout recorded history, each country and culture with its own version. The Language of Flowers series brings this age-old custom back to life and discusses the meanings, folklore, properties and uses of seven well-known flowers. The messages conveyed by those flowers are inspirational, so too is the technology used to bring nature to life on the coins. Opening with the rose, the series continues with the dandelion, marigold, forget-me-not, chamomile, peony and violet.In all major religions, flowers are linked to the miracle of love, which has led to their main symbolic meanings. With its exceptionally beautiful petals, intoxicating scent and the delicacy of its unfurling blooms that suggest lips parting for a kiss, sensuality and fertility, the rose has indeed been an important symbol of love in its many forms for centuries.
