Pan was simply one of these creatures that was elevated to &#039;god-like&#039; stature. Therefore, Pan was a &#039;Satyr&#039; (aka Faun),&nbsp; and the two are the same.</p><p>As one is effectively the other, both of your coins could be described as having &#039;Pan&#039; or a &#039;Satyr&#039; on the obverse.</p><p>(Well, that is what I believe.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
