The Creator coin design is the fourth release in The Jesus Collection by the Scottsdale Mint. Available in a variety of sizes, metals, and finishes, these coins are not only beautiful, but are made to serve a greater purpose. This series is part of a Coins for Charity program, raising money for Christian ministry.
The mint says about it: Introducing The Jesus Collection - The Creator: a profound tribute to the seven days of creation, inspired by the powerful scriptures of Colossians 1:16 and Genesis 1. This intricate coin is designed to encapsulate the majesty of God’s creative power, where each day marks a divine act that shapes the heavens, the earth, and all life within.
"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him." - Colossians 1:16. The Creator speaks of a God who, with divine authority, commanded the light to emerge from the darkness, brought forth land from the waters, and filled the sky with celestial bodies. This coin highlights the profound mystery of Genesis 1, where the formless void becomes the foundation of life, and each verse unveils God’s sovereign will over every element of creation.
Intricate details bring to life the magnificence of these seven days, from the separation of light and darkness to the creation of mankind in His image. Every feature on this coin reflects the omnipotent nature of God, with thoughtful engravings that represent the visible and invisible realms He brought into being. |
