The obverse features the helmeted head of the goddess Athena in Attic style, while the reverse bears the image of an owl, symbolizing the city-state of Athens. It served as an international currency in the ancient Mediterranean world.
Black-Glazed Kylix
SSR+ Produced between 560 and 550 BCE in the region of Laconia, excavated in Cerveteri, Italy, and now housed in the Gregorian Etruscan Museum. The exterior of the cup is painted with black glaze depicting two scenes: one side shows Prometheus stealing fire; the other side depicts Heracles freeing Prometheus. Each drinker, as they tilt the cup, gazes upon the story of the Hero's suffering and liberation painted within.
Sarcophagus of Origin
SSR+ Created during the 2nd century AD in the Roman Empire, this marble relief sarcophagus was unearthed in Arles, France, and is now housed in the Louvre Museum. The front of the sarcophagus displays three narrative scenes in continuous relief: Prometheus shaping humans from clay, Athena bestowing souls upon them, and the theft of the celestial fire. As a funerary artifact, the sarcophagus engraves the myth of Prometheus as the creator within the resting place of the deceased, reflecting Roman-era contemplations on the origin of life and the immortality of the soul.
Prometheus Chained
SSR+ Created by Flemish Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens in 1612, it is currently housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The painting employs a diagonal composition to depict the moment the giant eagle devours Prometheus's liver, with the tension in the human muscles clashing dramatically against the spread of the eagle's wings.

Viking Battle Axe
SSR+ Crafted in the 9th century and unearthed from a Danish bog, this battle axe once belonged to a Viking warrior. The blade is made of high-hardness steel and measures about 15 centimeters in length. Both sides of the axe head are engraved with intricate patterns and inlaid with precious gemstones.
Box of Despair
SSR+ As early as the 7th century AD, Viking craftsmen carved whale bone into valuable containers. According to Norse belief, the sword of the fire giant Surtr was stored in such a vessel, secured with nine locks.
Sif's Golden Hair
SSR+ Hair was commonly included as a burial item in Viking graves and was considered to possess magical qualities, stored separately from the deceased. According to the Edda, Loki once cut off the long hair of the harvest goddess Sif while she slept. To atone for his offense, he commissioned dwarven craftsmen to create a wig for her.
Viking Runes
SSR+ The earliest known runic inscriptions date to around AD 200 and are primarily found in Scandinavia and regions reached by Viking expansion. It is widely believed that these runes and spells were revealed to Odin while he hung upside down from the World Tree.
Loki's Hearthstone
SSR+ Discovered in 1950 on the beach of Snaptun, Denmark, this stone carving, dated to around AD 1000, is believed to depict the face of Loki. According to the Prose Edda, Loki was punished for his mischief by having his lips sewn shut, which is why the carved face shows scarred lips.

Legendary Fossil
SSR Ancient marine organisms calcified and preserved in sedimentary layers, with complete ammonite fossils commonly found in Jurassic strata in Europe. The ancient Greek philosopher Xenophanes observed spiral-shaped ammonites embedded in mountain rocks, considering them evidence that the land was once a vast ocean.
Legendary Amber
SSR Eocene conifer resin dripped and buried in forest areas, oxidizing over time, with the Baltic coast sedimentary layers having the highest yield. The ancient Greeks believed amber to be the solidified tears of the sun shed during Phaethon's fall, and The Homeric Epics list it among the treasured possessions of Trojan nobility.
Legendary Mural
SSR Around 17,000 years ago during the Paleolithic era, humans used a mixture of charcoal and animal marrow as paint to create artwork in the Lascaux Caves in France. When accidentally discovered in 1940, hundreds of paintings of bison, herds of horses, and giant deer inside the cave were still as vibrant as new. A layer of calcium carbonate seeping through the rock walls unexpectedly formed a natural protective film, preserving the paintings to this day.
Legendary Marble
SSR Ancient marine sediments, subjected to high pressure and geothermal activity, gradually recrystallized limestone into marble. This rock possesses both sculptural suitability and crack resistance, making it ideal for carving. Ancient Greece and Rome revered marble as a treasure, creating countless awe-inspiring works of art and architectural masterpieces with it.
Legendary Mythsteel
SSR From the 3rd century AD, Persian blacksmiths forged wavy-patterned blades by folding high-carbon steel with wrought iron, achieving a balance of steel's toughness and iron's flexibility. During the Umayyad Dynasty, craftsmen in Damascus refined quenching and temperature control techniques, producing curved blades capable of cutting through chainmail without losing their edge.
Legendary Oracle Script
SSR Since at least the 14th century BC, the Shang Dynasty in China used turtle shells and animal bones for divination, with diviners inscribing the results beside the fire-cracked lines. These records formed the earliest mature system of Chinese characters. The oracle bones are mostly brown and yellow in appearance, with characters that are thin and sharp like a knife. The content covers rainfall, war, and sacrifices, with the direction of the cracks determining major decisions for the dynasty over hundreds of years.
Legendary Porcelain
SSR As early as the 1st century AD, craftsmen of China's Eastern Han Dynasty unintentionally raised kiln temperatures above 1300°C during pottery firing, causing vitrification and giving rise to early porcelain. After the Tang Dynasty refined kaolin formulas, porcelain was exported across Eurasia. The ceramic body is translucent like jade and produces a clear, resonant sound when struck. Celadon glazes resemble early summer lake water, while white porcelain appears pure and flawless. With the addition of cobalt blue decoration, it evolved into the famous blue-and-white porcelain.
Legendary Stained Glass
SSR Around 2500 BC, Mesopotamians discovered transparent glassy material while firing ceramic glazes, while Egyptians shaped glass using the sand-core technique. After the Roman Empire improved glassblowing methods, glassware became widespread. When newly formed, glass appears soft and orange-red, but becomes hard and brittle once cooled. Adding minerals produces sapphire blue, emerald green, or amber hues, and trapped air bubbles serve as clues for dating.
Legendary Tapestry
SSR As early as the 3rd century AD, the Sassanid Empire on the Persian Plateau used a double-knot technique to weave wool carpets, incorporating patterns derived from ancient Persian Zoroastrian symbolism. High-quality plateau wool was selected, and craftsmen hand-tied up to 400 knots per inch. Complex designs often required several years to complete.
