Plague Doctor Coin Pendant

THE STORY

He stands where most people would rather not — beaked mask on, surrounded by twisting branches and skulls, with another beneath his feet. The figure does not retreat from what surrounds him. He simply remains.

Set within an 1881 coin face, the plague doctor turns an old image of protection into something darker: a figure defined not by the absence of danger, but by the willingness to face it. E PLURIBUS UNUM remains around the border.

WHAT IT REPRESENTS

Protection — The beaked mask represents keeping your guard when the threat cannot be seen.

Mortality — The surrounding skulls turn the composition into a direct memento mori.

Resolve — The plague doctor stands where others retreat, representing composure in the presence of fear.
