Baphomet Morgan Dollar Coin Art Pendant — E Pluribus Unum Dark Occult Jewelry

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.

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.

Craft

Each piece is hand-cut.

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.
