2022 - 2oz. - Infinity Snake QE - High Relief
This powerful imagery features an open eye, symbolizing a global awakening to deceit and corruption. The all-seeing eye atop the pyramid, a symbol also found on the U.S. dollar, takes center stage. Below it, the Latin phrase “ANNUIT COEPTIS” translates to “He has favored our undertakings”—a direct reference to the Great Seal of the United States, established in 1776. That founding year appears in Roman numerals (MDCCLXXVI) above the pyramid, while the date 2022, along with the round’s weight and purity, is engraved into the stone base. The design concludes with the thought-provoking quote:
"YOU CAN'T WAKE A PERSON WHO IS PRETENDING TO BE ASLEEP."
This underscores the series' broader message about truth, awareness, and resistance to systemic deception.
The obverse design introduces the name of the round, "Infinity." At its center is a large infinity symbol formed by a serpent devouring its own tail—an ancient symbol of cycles and self-destruction. Just beneath it, the letters “QE” reference Quantitative Easing—a monetary policy in which central banks inject newly printed fiat currency into the economy to spark growth.
This inflationary tactic, once rare, has become a go-to solution for economic stagnation. However, endlessly creating dollars with no intrinsic value risks long-term financial damage, including the possibility of hyperinflation. Rather than address foundational economic problems, central banks continue to print money, effectively masking deeper issues. It's a short-term fix with lasting consequences—one the average consumer ultimately bears.
As fiat currencies flood the system, central banks become addicted to the cycle, left with only two options: “print or perish.” Meanwhile, the individual—the conscious, alert citizen—begins to see the rigged game for what it is. The Infinity Silver Round speaks to that moment of realization.
