This quarter ounce gold coin was issued by the Royal Mint as part of a nine-coin gold series dedicated to the upcoming XXX Olympiad, also known as the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The nine coins were divided in three themes - "Citius", "Altius" and "Fortius" after the Olympic motto, which translates from Latin as "faster, higher, stronger".

The Diana gold coin is part of the Citius (faster) theme and depicts the Roman goddess of the hunt and wild animals, with her traditional attributes of bow and arrows representing archery, as well as a Moon ornament in her hair as part of her Moon goddess aspect (in which she as called Luna). The coin also depicts cyclists representing the sport of pursuit racing.

Reverse:At centre, the Roman goddess Diana with right hand raised in approval. A bow and a quiver of arrows are visible behind her back. She has a crescent-shaped ornament in her hair as a symbol of her other aspect as a Moon goddess.

Below and in front of her, two racing cyclists represent the sport of pursuit racing.

Above her, the five interlocking rings of the Olympic games.
