Welcome to my blog, once again, where you can follow my journey saving in precious metal silver and gold, a piece at a time.

The scene depicted in this limited Intaglio Mint Club #1 silver round is from Illustration XII, Book I of “A Collection of Emblems,” by George Wither. The book was both written and illustrated by the author in 1635.
Obverse: Mountains in the distance, with a tranquil sea and island at center, flanked by two sail boats. The shore in the foreground scattered with worldly belongings, and a man ascending to the heavens, clouds behind, sun and moon on either side.
Reverse: An eagle with wings spread centered with a crown above and holding a flowing ribbon with the talons on a circular background of a diamond pattern. “500 Total Mintage” below eagle.
