Description:
“All men are enemies. All animals are comrades.”
The spark of revolution. The voice of unity. The beginning of a dream.
This 1 AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round features Old Major, the revered and visionary boar from Animal Farm. Struck in deep intaglio relief, Old Major is portrayed with wisdom and authority, his composed expression reflecting both conviction and urgency. As the ideological father of the rebellion, his presence represents the birth of a movement rooted in hope, equality, and shared purpose.
The reverse displays the ANIMAL FARM series design — a cleanly engraved rural scene featuring barn, windmill, and livestock silhouette, symbolizing the working world Old Major sought to liberate.
About Old Major:
Old Major serves as the philosophical foundation of Animal Farm, representing the origins of revolutionary thought. His speech to the animals introduces the principles of what later becomes “Animalism,” calling for unity against human oppression and envisioning a society built on equality and fairness. His ideas are inspired in part by Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, whose theories laid the groundwork for real-world revolutions. Though Old Major does not live to see the outcome, his vision ignites the events that follow — serving as both inspiration and caution, as his ideals are ultimately reshaped and corrupted by those who seize power.
