Silver Shield Quadrivium

in #steemsilvergold5 years ago

Silver Shield coins are pretty hard to find in Europe without a severe markup... so often, I'm just going to admire them at a distance. However, the Trivium and Quadrivium coins have been quite interesting for me just for the ideals that they represent, so if one pops up, then I'm prepared to pay a little bit of a premium for them.

So, when I saw that there was a Quadrivium for sale near me... I snapped at the chance to get it! The Quadrivium represents the four arts of Arithmetic, Geometry, Music and Astronomy. These are represented on the coin by some of the greatest practitioners of those arts. Archimedes, Euclid, Beethoven and Newton... these are some the greatest minds in the development of the arts and sciences, and as such deserve a coin dedicated in their honour!

Unlike the Trivium girls, these guys are much better dressed... and this coins seems to be a limited run of around 2600 pieces. Something that I didn't know beforehand... so that is a lucky bonus!

I don't have to watch this video and just dream of owning one... I actually have one in my grubby little hands now! Now... to keep an eye out for a Trivium....

... and as always.. the Silver Shield design is just beautiful in it's own right!

Keep Your Digital Gold Safe with Ledger

Ledger is one of the leading providers of hardware wallets with the Ledger Nano S being one of the most popular choices for protecting your crypto currencies. Leaving your holdings on a crypto exchange means that you don’t actually own the digital assets, instead you are given an IOU that may or may not be honoured when you call upon it. Software and web based wallets have their weakness in your own personal online security, with your private keys being vulnerable in transit or whilst being stored upon your computer. Paper wallets are incredibly tiresome and still vulnerable to digital attacks (in transit) and are also open to real world attacks (such as theft/photography).

Supporting a wide range of top tokens and coins, the Ledger hardware wallet ensures that your private keys are secure and not exposed to either real world or digital actors. Finding a happy medium of security and usability, Ledger is the leading company in providing safe and secure access to your tokenised future!

I love the message that comes with the Silver Shield rounds. Great choice!

Same! I don't always agree with the message, but I love that there is one!

Oh this is awesome. Not only does it look cool, but I feel like it is perfect round for you. So pleased you found one! ☺️

When I heard of this coin, I thought it really also represented arts that I hold dear! I love the Trivium ideals as well, but I'm not sure that the lack of clothing is really a great idea...

I'd only heard of the Trivium series, so the Quadrivium is new to me! Thanks for sharing this lovely piece and congrats on adding it to your collection! 😃

Thanks! I am still hoping to pick up a Trivium at some point... Keeping a close eye out for one over here!

@thekittygirl was showing one called JUSTICE that had the same back. Are they from the same mint? I never really knew coins could be so exciting, but since I've been on the blockchain I am learning so much. Told the husband we really should be looking into getting some coins like these. Not sure he agrees... yet.
Thanks for sharing!

They are from the same mint, Silver Shield (Canadian I think!). They make some very nice coins that all have some sort of message (sometimes that I agree with, others not!). I only just started getting into it last year after seeing the posts on #steemsilvergold! It's really quite interesting, and the community is very nice too!
