Trickery – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | The Four Horsemen of Corruption Series
Description:
Trickery is the art of deception—subtle, calculated, and often invisible until its damage is done. It thrives in shadows, manipulating perception and distorting truth while wearing the mask of legitimacy. This striking allegorical design captures corruption at its most insidious: not through force, but through illusion.
The obverse depicts Liberty ensnared in a moment of false reassurance, her guiding light compromised by a hidden hand. The tension between trust and betrayal is rendered in dramatic intaglio relief, with expressive detail that draws the viewer into the deception unfolding before them. Every contour reinforces the uneasy balance between appearance and reality.
The reverse, shared across the series, presents a haunting symbolic composition—four blades radiating outward, each inscribed with a defining vice: Trickery, Tyranny, Treachery, and Treason. At the center, Liberty’s fractured visage serves as a stark reminder of what is lost when corruption takes hold.
Struck in one avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper, Trickery sets the tone for the series with precision, depth, and unmistakable intent. A powerful opening chapter in a collection that confronts corruption head-on.
