About the coin
The great equalizer awaits us all.
This piece portrays the relentless allegory of the Danse Macabre—kings, clergy, and peasants alike, guided in an inevitable dance alongside skeletal figures under the shadow of time. On the reverse, the Ouroboros encircles the Tree of Life, anchored by the skull beneath its roots.
Below them, the timeless warnings carved in stone:
Danse Macabre ("Dance of Death") & Sic Transit Gloria Mundi ("Thus passes the glory of the world")
Design Details
Obverse: A striking high-relief central skeletal torso framing an intricate medieval archway. Flanked by a crowned king, a scythe-wielding Reaper, a high priest, and a veiled monk—each paired with their skeletal counterpart. Framed by an ornate Celtic knotwork border and gothic banner text.
Reverse: The Ouroboros serpent swallowing its tail, encapsulating a lush Tree of Life blossoming with fruit and flowers above a subterranean skull. Flanked by alchemical and celestial symbols (Sun, Moon, elements) and grounded by the Latin inscription banner.
