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 Juno gold coin is part of the Altius (higher) theme and depicts the Roman goddess Juno - the wife of Jupiter and the mother of Mars, Vulcan, Bellona and Juventas. She is the Roman equivalent of Hera, queen of the gods in Greek mythology. The coin also represents the sport of pole vaulting.

Reverse:The coin depicts the Roman goddess Juno and an athlete performing a pole vault.
