The Charon – Ferryman of Souls 100 gram Colorized Copper Medal carries Greek myth’s grimmest boatman across 100 grams of .999 fine copper. Shaped as an ornate scalloped plaque rather than a plain round, colorized in full on its face, and packaged in a themed collector box, the medal sits firmly in the display-piece category, aimed at collectors of dark mythology and shaped copper alike.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 100 grams of .999 fine copper (Cu)
- Metal Type: Copper bullion in a shaped, colorized medal format
- Obverse: A full-color scene of Charon poling his ferry of souls between the rivers of the underworld
- Reverse: A sculpted relief of the hooded ferryman with skulls and the motto No Coin, No Passage, No Return
The obverse paints the crossing in moonlit color. Charon, a skeletal figure shrouded in tattered robes, stands at the stern of his ornate ferry poling a huddle of veiled souls across black water, a bag of toll coins at his feet and a lantern glowing at the bow. Storm clouds and lightning frame a full moon overhead, torches flare along the rocky banks, and signposts name the River Styx and River Acheron at either shore. CHARON, FERRYMAN OF SOULS crowns the scene, with the motto NO COIN. NO PASSAGE. NO RETURN. and .999 FINE COPPER inscribed below.
The reverse renders the theme in bare sculpted copper: the hooded ferryman looms above his boat with a coin held aloft, winged skulls guarding the corners and gothic scrollwork climbing the edges. The motto rings the design, FERRYMAN OF SOULS arcs beneath the boat, and the plaque states its contents plainly: 100G and .999 CU.
The medal arrives in new condition inside a Charon-themed presentation box, its exterior printed with the ferry scene and the piece’s specifications. In the old myth, the dead paid Charon an obol for passage; this is one coin the ferryman doesn’t collect.
