About the Design
SANTA MARTA ASSASSINA DE LA TARASCA
"St. Martha the Dragon Slayer"!? If you read or speak Provençal, a near forgotten dialect of Southern France that was once the language of troubadours and cultured speakers, you'd know that is the text found on the new Dragon Coins.
According to an apocryphal legend, St. Martha, the sister of Lazarus, headed west and became a dragon assassin in the mid first century (A.D. 48). It has long been claimed that when St. Martha arrived to France, she brought liberty to the region of Provence by defeating the menacing Tarasque, a terrifying dragon that swallowed men whole. The Tarasque was the kind of terrible beast that no one who saw it lived to tell the tale.
Our dollar sized Dragon Coin gives a glimpse into this epic legend with St. Martha on the heads side, subduing the dragon with a goblet of holy water by the river banks. Her pose is inspired by the beloved classic look of the Walking Liberty Lady found on several historical coins. The reverse side features the defeated and tethered aquatic dragon, knelling into submission. The coin captures the moment St. Martha is victorious and the legend lives on for centuries.
Our half dollar sized Dragon Coin face features the hatching of a baby Tarasque that will someday be a menace once again. The reverse side is a fallen knight's helmet, which represents all those valiant fighters who attempted to defeat the dragon and failed. Around the knights helmet, the Provençal inscription reads, "SOI VENGUT PER CRETRE I A UNA DESFACHA PER TOTES," "I have come to believe that there is a defeat for everyone."
Let the Dragon Coin Set be a reminder for us all, though we have and ourselves can be saints and heroes who can rise up and defeat the obvious giants and dragons; it is the little, overlooked things in life that will grow up to destroy us. If we leave even the smallest dangers, evil thoughts, unhealthy patterns, and addictions in our own lives unchecked, they will one day soon grow into full grown torment and be the defeat for each and every one of us.
