This exclusive third release in this new 5 oz .999 fine Silver Rounds 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 round 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.

Pigritia is portrayed as a willful surrender to apathy — a quiet neglect of duty and purpose where comfort replaces effort, and the refusal to act becomes a moral failing as destructive as any excess.

Product Highlights

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

The reverse is standard in the series. It features an all-seeing eye above a pyramid, along with seven demons representing the seven deadly sins.

It is engraved with the series name “THE AWAKENING,” and the banner “ANNUIT COEPTIS” as the American Seal, meaning “God has favored our undertakings.”

It also indicates weight, metal content, and purity 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.

On the obverse, the Ira sin is represented by the depiction of a roaring lion, the animal that symbolizes anger; Ira, running to combat with an angry facial expression, carrying a sword and a shield; and a demon on the back.

The only engraving on this side is “IRA” on the outer rim.
