Description
7 Deadly Sins – Invidia : Envy Round 5oz
The seventh and final release in this new, exclusive 5 oz .999 fine Silver round series brings to life a re-imagined version of the magnificent sketches of 17th-century artist Jacques Callot, whose works vividly captured the complexities of human nature by pairing a sin, a scene and a demon. Each design interprets one of the Seven Deadly Sins — pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth — reminding us that these age-old struggles remain just as relevant today.
Released as part of “The Awakening” program, this sub-series is the first of its kind with a completely unique design. This program serves a unique role: it awakens not only the senses through striking artistry, but also the conscience thought through timeless truths. The artwork for this 7 part mini series was executed by former US Mint Coin Designer, Joel Iskowitz, and struck in a stunning finish by Scottsdale Mint.
Invidia is portrayed as the corrosive pain of envy — a resentful fixation on the fortune of others, where comparison breeds bitterness and the desire to diminish another’s success eclipses gratitude and inner peace.

In our time, the concept of sin is often dismissed or ignored, not because humanity has transcended it, but because society too easily excuses or glamorizes behaviors that erode virtue. This spectacular limited 7 part series stands as a mirror, inviting us to confront these realities rather than deny them.
The Design
On the reverse, an all-seeing eye is depicted above a pyramid, along with seven demons representing the seven deadly sins. This design is standard in the series.
It also contains the series name “THE AWAKENING,” and the banner “ANNUIT COEPTIS” as the American Seal, meaning “God has favored our undertakings.”
Weight, metal content, and purity are informed through the inscription: “.999 SILVER 5 TROY OZ.” Lastly, the words “YOU CAN’T WAKE A PERSON WHO IS PRETENDING TO BE ASLEEP” surround the bottom rim.
The obverse portrays Envy as Medusa, the mythological Greek figure of a woman with venomous snakes for hair, whose gaze turned onlookers to stone, accompanied by a demon and a dog, which represents territorial bitterness, the guardian of what they cannot enjoy, simply to prevent anyone else from having it.
The only engraving on this side is “INVIDIA.”
