5 oz Avaritia - Greed: Seven Deadly Sins Silver Reverse Proof - The Awakening Series

5 oz Avaritia - Greed: Seven Deadly Sins Silver Reverse Proof - The Awakening Series

This exclusive fourth 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 caputred 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. 

Avaritia is portrayed as an insatiable hunger for wealth and possession, where desire eclipses restraint and accumulation becomes an end in itself, reflecting the corrosive pull of greed when value is measured only by what is owned.

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 the same for all rounds of the series. It depicts an all-seeing eye above a pyramid, along with seven demons representing the seven deadly sins.

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

The description of weight, metal content, and purity read: “.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 Avaritia as a wealthy woman surrounded by precious metals, jewelry, and coins, along with a toad, often linked to the earth and hoarding, and a demon sitting atop a treasure chest, symbolizing hoarding and protecting treasure, preventing it from circulating or helping anyone.

The only engraving on this side is “AVARITIA.”
