The latest release in the The Nine Worthies series features Joshua.
Struck from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver using a new minting technique called “Bi-Metal Max”, that combines 11.5oz of copper as a base for the top layer of fine silver, resulting in a 80mm super ultra high relief coin. Limited mintage of just 500 coins worldwide!
This collectable features Joshua as the first from the Jews group. Joshua was the leader of the Israelites after the death of Moses and is considered the idealized general who led the Israelites to conquer the Promised Land. It was when Joshua was sent as one of the Twelve Spies of Isreal sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan, that Joshua is attributed to the chivalric virtue of truth.
The design showcases the portrait of Joshua in his armor and the elements from the theme which features various ornaments that symbolize the character’s chivalric values and beliefs. The same ornaments and details can be found on the obverse surrounding the legal tender.
