Baphomet Hobo Coin Necklace

Baphomet Hobo Coin Necklace
As above, so below. Baphomet is an image of balance: one hand raised, one lowered; human and animal, light and shadow, instinct and reason held within the same form. Rather than choosing one side, the figure represents the discipline of understanding both. This necklace places Baphomet at the center of an openwork coin design, framed by the inscription E Pluribus Unum—“out of many, one.” The surrounding metal has been removed so the winged figure stands clearly against the wearer, while the four-prong setting holds the coin without drilling through it. Inspired by historic hobo coin art, the piece transforms a familiar coin form into something personal: a symbol of self-knowledge, independence, and balance carried close to the body.

The Story

The Hobo Nickel tradition began in the late 19th century, when itinerant carvers transformed ordinary coins into miniature sculptures — faces, skulls, and figures cut by hand with nothing but a blade and time. The results were not currency anymore. They were talismans: small, personal, and made by people who understood that an object only holds meaning if someone puts it there.

This pendant places Baphomet — Éliphas Lévi's 1856 figure of duality, the hermetic symbol of "as above, so below" — at the center of a modern coin replica bearing the E Pluribus Unum inscription and the 1893 date. Each piece is hand-cut. The symbol is older than the coin. The coin is older than the pendant. The meaning is yours to carry.

What It Represents

Duality

One hand raised, one lowered. The Baphomet figure encodes the hermetic principle of correspondence — that opposing forces are not enemies, but mirrors of each other.

The Templar Shadow

The Knights Templar were accused of worshipping Baphomet during their 14th-century persecution. Whether the charge was true is still debated — but the symbol survived the Inquisition, which says something about its staying power.

Currency as Relic

The 1893 date and E Pluribus Unum inscription frame the symbol in a specific American moment — when money, identity, and survival were all contested at once.

Design Highlights

  • Baphomet relief hand-cut at center — 1893 date and star border intact around the open frame
  • Four-prong coin ring frame — E Pluribus Unum inscription fully visible from all angles
  • Skull bail cast separately above, structurally integrated into the frame
  • Coin diameter: 38 mm (approx. 1.5 in)

Aging & Patina

The silver-plated copper surface develops character with wear — edges deepen, relief shadows intensify, and the piece takes on the quality of something carried for years. Each piece ages into its own version of itself.

Styling Suggestions

  • Worn alone over a black collarless shirt — the coin scale reads clearly without competition
  • Layered with a shorter flat chain; the coin sits as the anchor piece
  • With structured dark outerwear — the antique silver tone reads as an artifact, not an accessory
  • Festival, ritual, or everyday dark aesthetic where the symbolism is meant to be seen
