    Potential Coin Club release for later in the year...

    Full details on the blog of Elise Martinson - http://www.elisemartinson.com/illustration/four-coins-of-the-apocalypse/

    Four horsemen looks kinda cool! who knows if any of these will hit the shelves later in the year or if coin club already pulled the pin...

    Clearly the 4 horsemen would be the best theme as Revelations refers to the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. The other possible designs dont have anything to do with the Bible.

    am i allowed to change my mind ? the 4 horsemen is a great theme for the coin but am starting to lean towards the top ones i think the black-whites = grey and the orange all go together well and do give the feel of the end, guess the artist liked them too?

    The third designs a winner for me, not sure why they would try to do a cross over from the Myan calander to a referance to Revelations, two completley different mythical predictions of the worlds end. ;)

    I like the 4 horsemen, and I hope also in a low mintage even if I think that PM will issue the usual 5000 pcs.

    Unfortunate news from Elise

    June 18, 2012 at 11:58 pm

    "I'm sorry for my lack of updates on these coins. Unfortunately despite the encouraging feedback the project has been cancelled. There are a number of good projects in production and it was decided that this one would have to be put aside in order to make way for the others.

    I just realised I previously said we were definitely going ahead with something, at that stage it was very certain it would be a 2012 coin/set/series of some kind. A project is still going ahead in its place but it won't be these coins.

    A few people might be disappointed but I hope that the other projects will make up for it"
