2023 Palau $20 3-oz Silver In Girum Imus Nocte Moth Coin

Collectors Are Attracted To This Coin Like Moths To A Flame

Written by the poet Virgil in ancient Rome more than 2,000 years ago, "the Devil's Verse" is a palindrome that embodies the definition of insanity of expecting different results by doing the same thing over and over. The verse, written in Latin, reads the same forward and backwards: In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni. Its translation reads, "Like moths around a flame we consume each other and are in turn consumed." Modern scholars equate Virgil's verse as a commentary on the confusion and aimlessness many people feel in today's fast-paced world, where we often find ourselves lost in thought or scrolling through endless feeds at night, searching for meaning but ending up going around and around in circles.

A Spectacular Coin With A Hidden Message

Virgil (70–19 BC) was an ancient Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus, the first Roman emperor, and has been traditionally ranked as one of Rome's greatest poets. His insightful verse has inspired legions of people over the centuries, with the latest product of that prophetic vision being this amazing, limited-edition coin struck in three ounces highly pure 99.9% fine silver. Released on behalf of Palau, this legal-tender $20 coin features a highly detailed image of a moth, the nocturnal flying insect central to Virgil's verse. If you look closely, you can see a death's head skull forming hidden in the moth's body, a warning not to be consumed by repeating the same mistakes over and over.

The design takes on a deeper symbolic meaning with the addition of patented Smartminting® Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail that dramatically raises the moth off the surface of the coin. Virgil's words–in gi rum imus noc te – et con sumi mur ig ni–is repeated forwards and backwards on both sides of the coin. Finally, the coin features a unique Industrial Proof Finish that makes the coin look as if it has been burnished with fire combined with selectively colorized elements.
