Afternoon everyone….
Not a great day weather wise here. I woke up to rain and it’s just gotten more intense throughout the day. There were even a couple thunderstorms mixed in.
Part of the last order I made from the Intaglio Mint. They still make remarkable rounds, but at these prices I’m not a buyer.
Today’s round also has a killer design, no pun intended. The round features a skull holding two handguns with the inscription “Dulce Periculum”.
The MacAulay clan motto is "Dulce periculum" (Danger is sweet) and the clan crest features a spurred boot. Spurs were once an object denoting chivalric rank, so the inclusion of the spur might represent a high-ranking horsemen.
So check out this awesome round…
The detail that they get on these pieces is just tremendous. Just look at all of the crevices and shadows in the round. Just spectacular.
