Obverse
“Some of them were looking for cheaper fish at the vendors' stalls, while others were trying to find work with them. The vendors themselves were just waiting for an opportunity to sell someone more expensive goods. Some of them had given up looking and waiting and were drinking wine in broad daylight and thinking loudly how they could have lived if it had not been for a thousand reasons. In the midst of the noisy crowd there was a lover, as miserable as an old beggar - the former had had his heart torn out by a girl, the latter had been robbed of his health by time. Hundreds of tired and dull, idle and empty eyes flashed across the square.
That's why the contrast was so glaring. Against this gray background, our hero's eyes sparkled with happiness. He walked confidently forward and did not understand the people around him, because he had long forgotten what it was to want and not get what he wanted. The only thing that bothered him was that he wanted to talk to someone who had the same knowledge, someone who would believe and understand. But everything he wishes for comes true - a moment, and a gold coin sparkled in the crowd, so similar to the one our hero held in his hands..."
Why did we start with this small story? It's simple - before we talk about the symbols on the coin, it is worth understanding what is a symbol in general? Can you answer this question?
The ancient Greek word "symbol" meant exactly a coin that was divided in two. People who had half each recognized each other by putting the pieces together. These were used by secret communities that kept knowledge that was inaccessible to the crowd.
Later, symbols became signs that had a secret meaning. Signs with a meaning that was revealed only to a certain number of people.
Today you will become a part of this group, because we will reveal the meanings of symbols, which everyone has forgotten or did not know at all. Probably, that's why nobody uses them. That is probably why the eyes of most people around you are tired and dull. Light up the sun in your eyes.
Wheel of Fortune
The first symbol that will reveal its secrets to us is the central symbol of the obverse, the most recognizable and popular symbol of antiquity – the Wheel of Fortune.
Put aside all your associations to see the truth. The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes more than cyclicality, and certainly not an endless stream of good fortune. What is it then?
Let's begin our study like true scholarly archaeologists, layer by layer dusting off the relics of antiquity to get to the true meanings and wisdoms.
5500 years ago in Sumer, humans invented the first wheel to lift heavy burdens from their shoulders and the backs of long-suffering oxen.
In 1893, an American engineer installed the world's first Ferris wheel, 73 meters high, as an answer to the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Who was it then, and most significantly, why did he invent the "wheel of Fortune"?
An obvious logical chain: the wheel of Fortune – the goddess Fortuna – Antiquity.
Indeed, the symbol gained wide popularity not even in Greece, but in Rome, and related to this fact is an amusing story.
Grandnephew Julius Caesar – Octavian Augustus, an ambitious but too young man from a not particularly wealthy family, only in dreams could see himself at the head of a great empire.
Probably, while he was sleeping and dreaming, the goddess Fortuna herself descended from Olympus and kissed him on the top of his head. We find no other explanation why Caesar adopted a distant relative, gave him a third of the inheritance and practically made him his heir.
In gratitude to the goddess, Octavian introduces the cult of Fortune, the central figure of which becomes the subject of our study – the wheel, through which a person "receives" luck and good fortune.
The wheel is a kind of portal, an epicenter in which your true energy is concentrated. What can this concentrated energy influence? Of course, luck. After all, what is luck if not a creative flow that changes your life for the better.
Wheel of Fortune, as the central symbol of the obverse of the coin, is able to attract luck in winning lotteries, casinos, gambling, just life situations where everything depends on luck. Can help you win even when "everyone and everything is against you".
The Earth
We have found that the Wheel of Fortune symbol is not just a symbol of cyclicality. It is the epicenter of accumulation of your true energy, which is able to attract luck into your life.
What if not just your energy, but the energy of the entire planet was used for this mission?
There are a trillion species of living things on Earth. Everything from a giant blue whale to a tiny hummingbird, from the rarest ghost orchid to desert cacti, will "work" for energy to change your life.
To realize such a colossal concept helps a small detail on the coin - the globe in the center of the Wheel of Fortune. Think big, dream big, because the whole world is trying for you, the whole world is in the palm of your hand.
Feel free to buy a lottery ticket or go to the casino, luck is now always on your side, because the whole world sends its energy to you.
Clouds
The Wealth coin is in front of you. Why are you here in front of it?
What if you were destined to be here and become the owner of all the energy this coin gives you?
Perhaps the higher forces are helping you to pass the path destined for you in this way?
We cannot definitively answer the question above. We can only give you a chance to invisibly touch the "gate" that separates you from the higher forces.
Clouds are the simplest, but hardly the most profound symbol on a coin. Changeable and translucent, they became an insurmountable line that separated the "earthly" and the "heavenly".
Yes, as 21st century people we know they are condensed water vapor. But have we stopped marveling at their bizarre shapes? Have we stopped raising our eyes in sorrow or joy?
Knowledge does not cancel the senses. And we instinctively look to the sky when we plead for help or ask for a better future for ourselves.
Clouds are abundant, for in nature they are the ones that bring the enlivening rain. Clouds are a mediator between us and higher powers.
Clouds are a sign of divine presence.
Touch the clouds on the coin and mentally whisper your most cherished wishes.
If destinies are made in heaven, maybe we just need to ask in the right way?
To be sure, pass the message along with the eagle.
Eagle
Let us rise above the clouds and look at this majestic bird.
If birds, like humans, were to elect their leaders, the eagle would be unanimously recognized as their leader. It flies at a speed of up to 240 km/h, can see an ant from a height of 10 floors and rises to a height of up to 9 km.
In other words, the eagle is one of the few birds that can overcome the very line between earth and sky, the clouds.
This peculiarity was noticed by our ancestors. That is why they considered the eagle as a mediator between people and gods, a faithful companion of the supreme deities.
Like the gods, who always sit above people, the eagle soars above all birds. It is the embodiment of courage and strength, fortitude and majesty.
Have you decided what wish to whisper to the coin? It will be heard in heaven. Your "messenger" will remind you of it.
Reverse
Let's turn the coin over and read the main message of the whole talisman "Divitiae Fortuna Felicitas" – wealth, luck, happiness. What does this mean and why exactly are these words placed on the reverse?
Divitiae
Bernard Arnault, owner of a business empire of 75 luxury brands, has a billion-dollar fortune.
Jeanne Kalman did not have billions, but she lived 122 years, saw the change of eras and centuries, raised grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Which one do you think is richer? Too often we think of wealth as the amount of money in a bank account. In fact, this concept is much more multifaceted and includes at least 4 types of wealth.
Material wealth
Happiness is not about money and that is the truth. But it is material prosperity that gives the most important thing – freedom. Freedom to enjoy life, to buy what you want, to get rid of the need to work a job.
Money will make you free, and this is the highest blessing and value.
Social wealth
In gratitude for his help, Van Gogh painted a portrait of Dr. Felix Rey. Doctor sent it to the attic and soon plugged a hole in the chicken coop with it. Poor Van Gogh. After his death his masterpieces began to exhibit in the best museums in the world, and during his lifetime his paintings were admired by chickens.
Social wealth has many manifestations, and recognition is hardly the most important.
You paint pictures? They'll be admired.
Design houses? They'll be studied in architecture schools
Running a business? You will be held up as an example by coaches and business coaches.
The wealth of time
Time is an irreplaceable and priceless resource. And time is not only in the context of Jeanne Kalman's story. To live long is beautiful. To live a long and happy life is ideal. To have enough time for loved ones, hobbies, traveling, for everything that makes you happy.
Spiritual wealth
Who is a spiritually rich person?
It is a person who has the whole universe inside of them. A person living in harmony with themselves and the world around them. Everything is enough for them: knowledge, time, freedom, recognition, money. It is enough for this person and willing to share it with everyone. Filled with positivity and can safely call themselves a happy person.
The more often you hold a coin in your hand, the closer the universe will be to you, the higher the probability that you will become the owner of all the above benefits.
What gives us the right to make such assumptions? The reverse of the coin contains not only the word "Divitiae – wealth", but also the symbols that bring it.
The symbol of Jupiter
Just as Octavian glorified Fortuna, his predecessor Caesar glorified Jupiter.
"In a tunic embroidered with palm branches, a purple toga ornamented with gold stars, gilded shoes, holding in one hand a laurel branch and in the other an ivory scepter with the image of an eagle on top, Gaius Julius Caesar marched to the Capitol.
Caesar's head was crowned with a laurel wreath - a symbol of strength and purposefulness, victory and power, and the divine election of its owner. Gilded quadriga shone in the sun, and four harnessed stallions embodied all the irrepressibility of the Roman Emperor"
Triumph! That's how Rome called the triumphal procession of great generals in honor of great victories. But who were the Romans really honoring?
While the commander rode all in gold, his soldiers sang humorous songs and mocked the emperor in every possible way, because they were afraid to anger the real hero of the holiday - the god Jupiter. It was to his statue went the great commander.
After all, it was Jupiter who gave the emperor the strength and wisdom to defeat the enemy. It was Jupiter who was the source of all his power and wealth.
The symbol of Jupiter is the central figure of the reverse of the coin. The symbol itself is based on the dualism of the world and represents 2 types of wealth - material and spiritual. Look closely. The symbol consists of 2 parts - a cross and a crescent moon.
The cross means matter and material values. Jupiter patronizes the strong, brings them honor and status in society, land and property, helps build empires and save material wealth.
The crescent moon represents the soul and spirituality. Jupiter helps to become a whole person, to put in order the inner world and learn to get joy from life. Directs, helps to make the right choice in situations on which depends on your peace of mind.
The symbol of Jupiter - is not just a symbol of wealth, it is a symbol of balance and equilibrium. Material and spiritual intertwine, filling a person and making him absolutely happy.
Caesar marches among the crowd and is the whole universe, at his feet lies the whole world. He won a victory, built an empire, gained new lands and mountains of gold, achieved fame and recognition.
Keep the coin close to you, increase the chances of your own Triumph. Build your business empire, accumulate your mountains of gold, fill yourself with positive emotions and seize the chance to utter the phrase:
"I have everything I want. I am absolutely happy."
Sun
The central symbol of power is surrounded by less flashy but no less significant symbols. We have familiarized ourselves with the symbol of material and spiritual wealth. Now it is time to talk about the symbol of Physical Wealth.
Ancient wisdom says: "The greatness of a tower is measured by the length of the shadow it casts, and the greatness of a man - the number of his jealousies".
The great and prosperous, the rich and happy have always gathered around themselves crowds of envious and scheming people. Therefore, the author placed on the coin amulet from such bad influence - the Sun.
The Sun, as a protective talisman from ill-wishers and diseases, is present in almost all peoples. The Sun is a source of light and heat, without which life itself is impossible. Without it there would be no air, and our "blue planet" would turn into a liquid nitrogen ocean around frozen waters and icy land.
Our ancestors didn't know what nitrogen was, but they knew for sure that the sun was the source of life.
That is why they attributed great power to its omnipresent rays: they penetrate into the most hidden corners, burn out all evil and always defeat evil.
It is amazing how the beliefs of our ancestors are confirmed by the discoveries of modern scientists. For example, the evil that frightened the entire planet – Covid 19. In the dark, the ill-fated virus can retain its ability to infect for 18 hours. But as soon as sunlight hits it, the virus is destroyed in two minutes. That's a real hedge against disease.
You should agree, it is nice to realize that by having this coin, you own an amulet that protects you from the bad intentions of envious people and gives you physical wealth.
Crown
Material, spiritual, social wealth.
Answering the question of who is capable of possessing such riches at the same time, the author places the symbols of social wealth - the laurel crown and the crown. What do they have in common?
"Caesar's head was crowned with a laurel wreath" – a symbol of strength and ambition, of victory and power, of the divine election of its owner" - we have already mentioned this.
Did you know that Caesar was the first person who was allowed to wear the laurel wreath on a permanent basis, on and off occasion? And do you know the most entertaining theory as to why the Senate gave him that right?
The great emperor was patronized not only by Jupiter, but also by Aphrodite, the goddess of love. He was popular with women and very scrupulous about his appearance. But even Caesar was not spared baldness. Golden laurel crown very successfully hid this flaw. That's why Julius was given the right to wear the crown always and everywhere
The theory is not without humorous overtones, but it is one that clearly shows what social wealth is all about. The most influential and powerful men of the Roman Empire, the greatest state in those times, are doing the bidding of a man who simply wants to hide the imperfections of his appearance. Now that's power, now that's recognition...
It was the laurel crown that became the progenitor of the crowns that adorned the heads of monarchs in later times. Gold and silver, diamonds and emeralds, pearls, rubies, velvet, furs - what kings did not use for their "laurel wreaths". All this luxury was necessary to say: "I am power itself. I am strength and courage. I own and rule the world."
However, the crown is not only a sign of power. It is a symbol of dignity, chosenness, glory and victory. It is a symbol of the chosen. Only to the chosen ones fate grants all the benefits of the world, all the riches at the same time.
The deep interconnection of the symbols laid down by the author makes the coin itself a unique symbol.
If you hold this talisman in your hands, it means that you own all the meanings embedded in it, you are closer to all kinds of riches.
It is you who can confidently go forward. It is you who can wish and get what you want. It is your eyes that can radiate happiness.
Felicitas – happiness
Felicitas – happiness is the third word on the reverse.
In elementary school, one of the founding members of The Beatles, John Lennon, was given an assignment to tell what he wanted to be when he grew up.
John wrote "Happy."
The teacher said, "You don't understand the assignment!", the great musician replied, "You don't understand life!".
Happiness is impossible to describe. It is different for everyone, and today it is one thing and tomorrow another. But let's think about it:
- you're healthy, full of strength and energy;
- you can buy everything that's for sale in this world;
- you are spiritually rich;
- there is harmony in your family and people around you recognize your authority;
- you are traveling, painting landscapes or learning to play the guitar;
- luck and good fortune have become your constant companions.
Isn't that happiness? And it is already practically in the palm of your hand.
Fortuna
We will conclude our exploration of the main message of the coin with the word Fortuna – luck. Can you say exactly what luck is?
Luck is the world's most elusive substance.
This is exactly what a couple from California knows, who while walking their dog found eight jars with more than 1400 rare gold coins. The approximate value of the find is about 10 million dollars. That's how people suddenly become millionaires.
Or you can ask about the luck and good fortune of Mohammad Bashir Abdul Hada. In 2016, the lucky man bought a lottery ticket "Dubai Duty Free Millennium Millionaire" at Dubai airport and traveled to India.
On his return home, Fortune turned its gaze on our hero twice. The landing turned out to be quite rough, which led to the fire of the airliner. Mohammad managed to leave the burning airliner among the last – a few seconds before the explosion.
Afterwards it turned out that the lottery ticket was a winner and Mohammad's piggy bank was replenished with one million dollars. Maybe such luck is a compensation for the experience?
History is full of stories about lottery winnings, casino winnings and incredible rescues. Other than luck such cases can not be called other than luck.
But still, what exactly is luck?
We do not know the exact definition, however, no one will give it. The concept itself and its nature are too vague.
But the closest to the truth is this interpretation: luck is a flow of energy that makes you unconsciously move towards a certain event that leads to a favorable outcome.
The couple was just walking their dog, but for some unknown reason noticed tin cans sticking out of the ground. Mohammad Bashir Abdullah Hada was not an avid lottery fan, but for some reason he decided to buy a ticket.
So who is a lucky person?
It's a person who has a well-tuned frequency of reception. And this frequency does not depend on subjective factors. In other words, if you took a kitten out of a tree or crossed a grandmother across the road, it does not mean that luck in the lottery is guaranteed.
The laws of the subtle world are beyond our understanding, but one thing we know for sure is that ancient talismans and symbols are able to tune you to the right frequency of luck.
The more often the coin is with you, the higher the probability that events will turn in a favorable direction for you.
Good luck symbols
Goddess Fortuna
The closer we get to the final, the more often we are convinced that all the symbols of the coin are inextricably linked, complementing and reinforcing each other.
Let us recall another list of personages. Octavian Augustus, Bernard Arnault, Jeanne Kalman, Mohammad Bashir Abdullah Khad.
What do these people have in common?
They lived in different times, in different parts of the world, in different ways were rich. But still, there is one thing they have in common – Fortune. All of these people had luck, all of these people had a certain kind of wealth. The first achieved material wealth and fame, the second was rich in time and family, the third escaped death and suddenly became rich.
All of them prove that for Fortuna does not matter age, education, status in society ... Therefore, Fortuna is depicted blindfolded, and it is her face that the author used on the coin.
Fortune does not divide people into good and bad, poor and rich, she just will by chance, independent coincidence, bestows them with its benefits.
Life is a set of events and circumstances. And the more often the coin is near you, the higher the probability that they will be formed for you exceptionally favorable.
Ship
We move on, or rather, this time we sail on. The next symbol of good luck is a ship.
The Pacific Ocean is not a quiet ocean. Strong storms rage here, and powerful tropical storms brew in the tropics. However, for more than 3 months Magellan's expedition did not encounter a single storm. Apparently, that's why the navigator named the ocean the Pacific Ocean.
Magellan broke the boundaries of his mind, believed in the western route to the spice islands, led the world's first circumnavigation of the globe. The intrepid discoverer was probably blessed by Fortune herself. She was the patroness of seafarers, who were at sea without luck.
A ship with full sails is a symbol of good luck and prosperity, which is quite logical. Since ancient times, a ship arriving in the port, loaded with valuable cargo, brought wealth to merchants and joy to the inhabitants of the port.
All aboard! It's time to fill the sails with the wind of good fortune and with full holds rush to the cherished shores.
Smiling Mask. Double
Of course, historians could try to accuse us of lying. Where in Magellan's history is Fortune? Out of 5 ships returned only 1, during the expedition there were riots and scurvy, and Magellan himself was killed by the natives.
Yes, Fortuna is a capricious goddess. Today she bestows blessings, and tomorrow she forgets. But even in Magellan's story, it's hard to say the goddess turned her back on him. He wanted more than anything to prove that the Strait existed. His wish came true, and his name is forever written in the history books. Yes, only one ship returned, but its holds were full of spices, which completely paid for the expedition and brought profit.
You'll notice we haven't described the two obverse symbols. This is deliberate.
The power of our talisman does not lend itself to double interpretations, the author has placed on the obverse two smiling masks, which have an unambiguous message – good luck in any case. Let Fortuna be capricious with others, the coin increases the chances that to you she will only smile.
Four-leaf clover
The author also depicts a four-leaf clover on the reverse.
Millions of children believe in one omen – if you find a four-leaf clover, any wish will come true. Have you ever gone through the leaves of a clover hoping to find a lucky one?
If you did as a child, it's unlikely you do now. But why?
Because your mind has built boundaries and such a magical symbol doesn't fit into that narrow world. That is why it is so important to remove forever the restrictions, believe and let the energy of the subtle world into your life.
Clover is able to change fate and direct to the light, protect from negativity and help in the chosen cause. Now there is no need to look for it in a bunch of grass, now it can always be with you.
Cornucopia
Let's return to the sign of Jupiter. It is difficult not to notice that this sign gives rise to another symbol – the Horn of Plenty or Cornucopia, the largest and most remarkable element of the reverse. Why exactly did the author arrange the elements?
Jupiter was destined to become king of the Olympian gods even before his birth. There was a prophecy that Saturn, Jupiter's father, would be overthrown by one of his own children. Therefore, when his wife Cybele gave birth to children, Saturn would exterminate each of them.
Jupiter was lucky – his mother gave Saturn a stone instead of her son, and hid the surviving child on the island of Crete. There the future supreme ruler spent his childhood in the cave of Mount Ida. Jupiter was saved from starvation by the goat Amalthea. On the day of his birth, two goats were born, and there was more than enough milk for all of them.
One day, playing with his nurse, Jupiter grasped the horn tightly and accidentally broke it. Regretting what he had done, he promised that when he grew up and became the ruler of the world, he would endow the broken horn with magical properties, and he fulfilled his promise. So the broken goat's horn turned into the "Horn of Plenty", which contains all the values of the world.
What values have we collected in our Horn of Plenty?
Van Gogh again. A man who had undeniable talent, but not a single kind of wealth. He suffered from mental and bodily illnesses, did not achieve fame and died in poverty. During his lifetime his paintings plugged holes in the chicken coop, and as a true artist, Van Gogh was not appreciated until after his death.
In 1890, "Portrait of Dr. Gachet" was sold for $82,500,000, and for the next 15 years the painting topped the list of the most expensive paintings.
Let's fantasize: what if Vincent van Gogh had been able to sell his painting during his lifetime for the same amount of money?
The doors of the best clinics in the world would be open to him, and his health would be cared for by the luminaries of the day. Fame and recognition would have helped him achieve peace of mind. His favorite women would be more favorable, and perhaps the personal life of the artist would not consist of only dramas.
Let's not be hypocritical, money is hardly the main measure of success and well-being. Money is the value that determines our material, social, and in many ways spiritual and physical wealth. It has been so, it is so, and it will be so for many centuries and perhaps millennia to come. That is why money - the measure of the world's values – is pouring out of the Horn of Plenty depicted on the coin.
Kauri shells, arrowheads, solar bars, bricks of pressed tea – whatever people used as money until they invented the classic metal coins and paper bills.
Today we were remembering a lot of names. The names are not essentially different from the names of currencies – each currency also has its own history, its ups and downs, birth date and even death date. Symbols of epochal coins spill out of the horn of plenty, symbolizing wealth, showing the continuity of times, extending the presence of the talisman from the times of antiquity to the distant future, which we do not know.
It is the unknown future that the author of the coin thought about, leaving a part of the sprinkled coins without symbols.
The Horn of Plenty is an illustration of the philosophy "there is enough wealth for everyone".
We cannot predict what values will be important tomorrow, but we can say with certainty that the Horn of Plenty and the symbol of Jupiter, the crown and the ship, the clover and the eagle, all the symbols depicted on the coin are timeless.
Filled with thousands of years of history and the faith of hundreds of generations, they will retain their secret meaning and reveal it to the chosen ones.
Coins fall over the edge of the talisman, personifying the boundless abundance of the universe. Values are as abundant as stars in the sky. They are enough for all those who believe in their chosenness.
