Job 28 – God of Science is the second coin in the Orthography series that features different writing systems; this one showcases Biblical Hebrew.
The Hebrew passage is from the book of Job in the bible, the 28th chapter and well describes the pursuit of science. As with many ancient biblical verses, it is moving poetry: “. . . They search the sources of the rivers and bring hidden things to light . . . “ The front side of the coin shows science’s current best depiction of our Milky Way galaxy. The spiral arms continue into the English translation of the Hebrew. The font used very closely matches the look of classical Hebrew.
The back side of the coin contains the exact same text as the other side, but in biblical Hebrew from thousands of years in the past. The images are concepts unknown to humanity until revealed by science (and math). They are:
The standard model of particle physics
The quark model of the proton
A telescope
Magnetic field lines around the Earth
A macrophage
A benzene molecule
A golden spiral
Cell division (mitosis)
A stellated dodecahedron (center image)
An interference pattern (background image)
This set contains five God of Science editions including an extremely rare limited edition.
“Iron from the Earth” - The name of this coin comes from the biblical text. This coin is made of solid iron with a protective coat. Only thirty-one of these coins were minted and they will never again be made.
"Smelted Copper" – This coin is solid copper with an antique finish. As with the iron edition, the name comes from the text on the coin.
"Life Emergent" - This is crafted with green transparent enamel over solid copper. It celebrates one of the more interesting things to be found in the universe - life. The word 'emergent' not only invokes life coming into being, but also the concept of emergent properties from chaos theory.
"Gleaming Truth" – Crafted with blue transparent enamel and a nickel finish over a brass core.
"Golden Knowledge" - Blue transparent enamel and 18 karat gold are affixed on a brass core.
