Overview
This exclusive first release in a new 5 oz .999 fine Silver Reverse Proof series brings to life a powerful re-imagining of the iconic sketches of 17th-century artist Jacques Callot. His original works explored the complexities of human nature by pairing a sin, a scene, and a demon; an artistic approach that remains strikingly relevant today. Each design in this series represents one of the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth, reminding us that these timeless struggles persist across generations.

The Complete Seven-Coin Mini-Series
This groundbreaking mini-series is best experienced as a complete, matching set of all seven designs. Only 2,000 strikes of each design have been produced, and from these, just 400 complete seven-piece matching numbered sets have been assembled.
Every coin within a set carries the same individual serial number, matched precisely to the numbered album. Low-numbered sets #1 through #10 are offered individually. These complete sets provide the only guaranteed opportunity to obtain a perfectly matched numbered collection and to receive the entire series before all individual releases are completed. Individual 5 oz silver issues will be released weekly.

The Awakening Program
Released as part of “The Awakening” program, this sub-series is the first of its kind to feature a completely unique reverse design unified across all seven sins. The program’s purpose extends beyond visual impact; it is designed to awaken not only the senses through striking artistry, but the conscience through enduring moral truths.
The artwork for this seven-part mini-series was executed by former U.S. Mint Coin Designer Joel Iskowitz and struck in a stunning Reverse Proof finish by Scottsdale Mint.

A Reflection of Our Time
In the modern world, the concept of sin is often dismissed—not because humanity has evolved beyond it, but because destructive behaviors are increasingly excused or glamorized. This limited seven-part series stands as a mirror, encouraging reflection rather than denial, and confronting timeless truths with unapologetic symbolism.

The Design
Reverse:
The reverse design is consistent across the series and features an all-seeing eye above a pyramid, accompanied by seven demons, each representing one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The inscriptions include the series title “THE AWAKENING,” the banner “ANNUIT COEPTIS”—meaning “God has favored our undertakings”—along with “.999 SILVER 5 TROY OZ.”
Encircling the lower rim is the provocative phrase:
“YOU CAN’T WAKE A PERSON WHO IS PRETENDING TO BE ASLEEP.”
Obverse:
The obverse portrays Lust (Luxuria) through the image of a sensual woman accompanied by a demon symbolizing temptation and a goat—an ancient emblem of unchecked desire and lack of restraint. The only inscription on this side is “LUXURIA,” reinforcing the stark, intentional focus of the design.
