The design of the "Three Graces" Pattern Crown was inspired by ancient Greek mythology. Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, married Hera, the queen of the gods, and together they had three daughters. Their three daughters were Aglaia (Brightness), Euphrosyne (Joyfulness), and Thalia (Bloom). They symbolized charm, beauty, nature, creativity, and fertility and as a result, became known as the "Graces."
Borrowing from this powerful mythology, William Wyon engraved his rendition of the "Three Graces" to symbolize the enduring relationship that England, Ireland, and Scotland shared with one another as the United Kingdom. The depiction of the "Three Graces" appears on the coin's reverse, with each "Grace" embracing one another. At their feet, there is a harp, shield, and thistle, symbolizing the cultural symbols of each country; the harp symbolizes Ireland, the shield symbolizes England and the thistle symbolizes Scotland. Much like Aglaia, Euphrosyne and Thalia shared a close relationship, these countries also have a strong relationship with one another.
