The Mint says about this coin:

SLAVIC GOD OF THUNDER AND LIGHTNING great gift idea  design kept in the convention of Slavic mythology  decoration with oaken insert  timeless antique finish  high relief  minted in fine silver   The highest god of the Slavic pantheon, Perun was the pagan deity of thunder, lightning, heaven and earth. His attributes – axe and arrow – acted as an indicator of his strength and might. An oak, a sacred tree of the Slavs and inseparable part of the pagan sanctuary, played an important role in the worship of the thunderous god. Longevity and extraordinary hardness of the oak tree made it a symbol of strength, durability and immortality. These features were attributed to Perun, the god of storm and sovereign power. In Slavic mythology, an eagle, the most magnificent of all birds, was the symbol and messenger of Perun. OAK – SACRED TREE OF THE SLAVS The design of this coin alludes to Slavic mythology. Intricate decorations    will astound even the most demanding connoisseurs of numismatics. Two ounces of fine silver, timeless decoration with antique finish, high relief reflecting the tiniest detail along with wooden insert make it an out-of-cliché gift for your sweetheart for all people interested in antiquity history and Slavic mythology.
