A little more detail…

Broken Britain. skull coin -Memento Mori handmade and recycled out of circulation old 50p

The crowned skull symbolizes various concepts, from the inversion of worldly power and the dissolution of the ego to the transmutation of negative qualities and the ultimate truth of death. It can represent the acceptance of mortality as a pathway to wisdom, the powerful control over death, or a celebration of life, as in “carpe diem” traditions.

The crowned skull can represent the stripping away of the ego and the illusion of worldly control, revealing raw insight, honesty, and the true self beyond superficial identity.

The Broken Britain design can also convey that knowledge and wisdom are the true legacy that outlives the individual, and that this wisdom is meant to be shared.
The “Skull King,” for example, can represent a figure who stands against established authority and challenges formidable circumstances, embodying a dark form of majesty

A visual master piece, a unique handcrafted pendant made from an old Fifty pence coin. Each pendant is meticulously hand cut, carved and engraved using traditional engraving chisels and saws. This process is pain staking and very time consuming.

Each one completely original and unique.  To finish the piece in an individual, bespoke manner you are welcome to request a couple of hand engraved traditional font initials on the reverse.  You may have noticed one of the coins has a skull with a gold tooth.  To achieve this I have painstakingly inlaid a piece of solid 24ct gold.  Its a nice touch and is an extra you are welcome to request.  Similarly you can choose the option of a solid coin design with traditional flourish ornate scroll engraving up the right side.

    Beautiful!

    I purchased “Broken Britain” online after being a long-time admirer of Hairy Growler. I absolutely love it. It looks stunning, and many people have stopped me to comment how unusual it is and how much they like it. The piece is amazingly detailed, and every time I look at it, I see something different in it.
