5 oz Ira - Wrath: Seven Deadly Sins Silver Reverse Proof - The Awakening Series
This exclusive third release in this new 5 oz .999 fine Silver Reverse Proof 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.
This ground breaking mini-series is best collected in a matching set of all seven coins. These sets will be housed in an incredible display, perfect for having on any desk or shelf open or closed. Of these 2,000 strikes, only 400 complete 7-piece matching numbered sets in numbered albums have been assembled and will be offered. Each set is housed in a custom album with each set’s individual serial number matching the serial number on each of the 7 pieces with low numbered sets #1 to #10 offered individually. These sets provide the only opportunity to be guaranteed a matching numbered set and receive your complete set before the entire series is released. Individual 5 oz silver releases like this will be launched on a weekly basis.
Released as part of "The Awakening" program, this sub-series is the first of its kind with a completely unique reverse design. This program serves a unique role: it awakens not only the senses through striking artistry, but also the conscience 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 Reverse Proof finish by Scottsdale Mint.
Collected together, these stunning 5 oz silver Reverse Proof strikes are more than a collection of medallions — it is a journey through history, art, and moral awakening. For the collector, it represents a rare convergence of beauty, meaning, and purpose with only 2,000 Reverse Proofs of each design struck, each individually laser serialized.
Ira is described as having an uncontrolled feeling of anger, impatience with the law, or a love of justice perverted to vengeance.

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.
