Job 28 – God of Science is the second coin in the Orthography series that features different writing systems; this one showcases Biblical Hebrew. The "Golden Knowledge" edition is crafted with blue transparent enamel and 18 karat gold over a solid brass core.
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)
