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 Minerva gold coin is part of the Fortius (stronger) theme and depicts the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy. Minerva is not a patron of violence such as Mars, but of defensive war only. The Romans equated her with the Greek goddess Athena. The coin also represents the sport of javelin throwing.

Reverse:The coin depicts the Roman goddess Minerva, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back to reveal her face. In front of her, an athlete throwing a javelin.
