Two wolves

Just cus I like it
2021 Niue two wolves, high relief antique finish coin. Mintage 999

OHH WOW 

That is absolutely Beautiful 

That is a gorgeous version of that legend. I've seen one by Silver Shield, but without all that detail. I'm not surprised you pounced on it.

It's a beauty!

Nice!

Incidentally @tray , has Hildegard landed with you yet? Not to mention your St. Helena Tiger?

no not yet taking forever, tiger is in this country so in the next few days, the oak leaf maybe this week

You did manage to track down an oak leaf then. That's good.

only in Kentucky, bit of a pain but noone over here had it. Hildegard now saying early august

Fingers crossed for Hildegard, and I hope you enjoy the Tiger and the Oak Leaf. I love mine. Anyway, you've inspired me in one regard - I've just bought the Pheli Mint version of 'Two Wolves'. There was one on sale over here so I went for it.

your lucky to find that one, hard to get that mint over here, lovely coin

Yes - we clearly both have impeccable taste. I'll overlook your penchant for ladies in armour with improbable attributes.

lol your like my new one when i get her. i will pop a picture up

Which legend is that out of interest?

It is a Cherokee legend says "the wolf you feed is the wolf that wins"

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”



He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”



The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”



The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Love it  @tray, brilliant, thank you!

I just love the coin. The detail in it is pretty amazing

What's the obverse like?

Hi @kimchi Standard Niue obverse with HM in profile and a two dollar denomination. Tray gave you a good recounting of the Cherokee legend.

Yay! Are you happy with it? (Silly question).

Great detail on it. The picture didn't do it justice. I just need the peacock and elephant now
