(June 3, 2023, updated December 20, 2025) This text style is a mix of Etruscan and Greek which is another way of saying it is like Latin lettering. Fish represent the motion powers, both emotional and astrological.
One side shows a 3 horse chariot with a winged goddess above it. These 3-horse chariots were never used in Greek racing and only rarely in Roman racing. They typically were the chariots driven by a diety because the Druid Ancient Pagan Paradigm had 3 layers. For example, the first-time Triga appeared on Roman coinage around First Punic War with goddess Victory driving it. The denarius of Roman Republic issued in 111-110 BC depicted Victory driving Triga (the 3-horse chariot) on the reverse side.
Based on the text the charioteer is the god of Dawn who is activated by Thu flying overhead. Dawn in turn activates the manifestation of life by Yahu. The chariot is also a symbol of activation.
The face is the hermaphrodite deity Thu who brings the astrological motion powers from Su and Selene to earth. Thu is associated with astrology magic which is human emotion magic meant to affect the astrological powers of fate (from Su). The dolphins surrounding the head represent motion powers. Thu is wearing a pearl necklace and has a pearl hair piece which represent the astrological motion powers in general.
