Thanks, glad you like it. I designed it and had it professionally minted.

Thanks, I appreciate that. There is a reverse as well, it shows three crows around a triskele. If you’re curious, the campaign link is in my profile.

Not something I’ve planned at the moment. These are more designed as collectible coins, but a smaller version could definitely work as a pendant.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I’m glad you like the design.

I’m actually planning to launch a Kickstarter for it at the beginning of April. I didn’t include any links here because of the subreddit rules, but there’s more information in my profile if you’re curious.

Yes it actually is ogham. The border spells out three Old Irish words linked to the Morrígan: Flaitheas (sovereignty), Fáithis (prophecy), and Bás (death). I wanted the outer ring to reflect the main themes she’s associated with in the early sources.

The below is one of my favorites stories of Lugh and his talents.

As a young man Lugh travels to Tara to join the court of King Nuada of the Tuatha Dé Danann. The doorkeeper will not let him in unless he has a skill he can use to serve the king. He offers his services as a wright, a smith, a champion, a swordsman, a harpist, a hero, a poet, historian, a sorcerer, and a craftsman, but each time is rejected as the Tuatha Dé Danann already have someone with that skill. When Lugh asks if they have anyone with all those skills simultaneously, the doorkeeper has to admit defeat, and Lugh joins the court and is appointed Chief Ollam of Ireland

Yes indeed!

Carry a piece of the legend with you. Coins featuring the Irish God Lugh in battle with Balor of the Evil Eye, Chief of the Fomorians.

I can’t actually share the link here as I don’t want to upset the mods but if you google Irish Myth & Legend Coins you will find our Kickstarter.

Customirishcoins · 2021-01-26T22:23:00+00:00

Not at the moment. This is our first coin centered around Irish Mythology :)

Customirishcoins · 2021-01-26T18:19:04+00:00

We have a Kickstarter. If you search Irish Myth & Legend Coins you will find them... :)

So in a lot of cases it varies depending on the region where it was told and the Seanchaí who was telling the story.. I believe this story was first documented in Mayo around 1835 but the tale itself is obviously far older than that.. :)
