Hand-Carved Hobo Nickel Skull Fantasy Coin and 50 similar items

Popis produktu: This hand-carved Hobo Nickel Skull Fantasy Coin is a unique work of art inspired by the traditional Hobo Nickel coins that emerged in the United States in the early 20th century. Originally, these were standard dollar coins transformed by engravers into exceptional artistic pieces. This particular example features the iconic imagery of a skull and skeleton replacing the classic depiction of Liberty, adding a mystical and gothic character to the coin. Preserving the original inscriptions such as "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST," the design is distinctively reimagined, making it not only a modern rendition but also a collectible art piece that appeals to both numismatists and lovers of alternative art and gothic aesthetics. The creation of such coins serves as a nod to the age-old tradition of handcrafted coin engravings, popularized by vagrants and artists during the Great Depression.Each piece is an original, with every detail being unique due to the intricate handcrafting process. This coin is an excellent addition to any collection and serves as a fascinating gift for enthusiasts of unconventional numismatics. With a diameter of 38 mm and a thickness of 2.5 mm, this extraordinary piece stands out as a testament to creativity and craftsmanship. Foto:
