About Crucifixion Of Jesus Christ 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine

Crucifixion is a classic design showing the ultimate sacrifice of the Jesus Christ. It is portrayed on many Christian symbols today, most notably the crosses that hang in Christian, Catholic, and Lutheran churches around the globe. On the obverse of the 1 oz Crucifixion Silver Shield Round is the image of Christ as his body languishes on the cross. Nailed through each hand and together through his feet, his body was left to hang on the cross until he could no longer support himself and would eventually suffocate as his lungs were unable to take in air. Engravings on this face are simple and include the letters INRI. These letters are believed to have been on the cross of Jesus and in Latin says Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum. Translated into English, the initials mean Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews (or Judeans). The reverse of the Crucifixion Silver Shield Round features the common design element used on all silver rounds in the collection. A sword is positioned on its point with an ornate design surrounding it, flames on the outer edge, and engravings identifying the series, weight, purity, and metal content of the round.
