Hobo Nickel; Knight, Death and the Devil Coin Ring
This coin ring features Roman Booteen's adaptation of Albrecht Durer's 1513 "Knight, Death and The Devil" and in the tradition of authentic Hobo Nickels is carved from a 1921 Morgan Silver dollar. The term hobo nickel is generic phrase referring to any denomination coin which has had its original artwork altered into a new design. Traditionally these would be created the homeless from a nickel, which would in turn be sold for extra cash, hence the name Hobo Nickel. The reverse design was also originally featured on a Morgan silver dollar, creating a rare “double obverse” Silver Hobo Nickel. Inspired by the mythology that surrounds trees, a twisted and ghoulish tree representing all that makes us wary on a dark night in the woods. This coin ring starts off as a 1921 Morgan Silver dollar containing .7734 oz of pure Silver and makes an incredible ring for any Hobo Nickel collector.
