Silver coin 1 Oz Seven deadly sins: Sloth

Human is a sinful creature. Temptation lurks at every turn, but there are seven deadly sins that are considered particularly grave. One of these is sloth, to which this silver coin from the collectors’ series by CIT Coin Invest is dedicated.

Rest is extremely important - it protects both body and mind from exhaustion and restores our strength. The problem, however, arises when rest turns into an escape from reality and when comfort takes precedence over responsibility. That is when sloth is born. At first, it feels like a pleasant relief, but gradually it becomes an obstacle in all areas of life. The more we put off what needs to be done, the easier it is to find excuses for not starting today. In the short term, a sense of relief may set in, but in the long term, one loses out on opportunities, the joy of success and self-respect. However, laziness is not merely about not wanting to work or make an effort - it is often a mask for the fear of failure. If we want to overcome it, it is not enough simply to force ourselves into constant activity. First, we must understand what it is we are actually running away from when we put off our responsibilities and dreams. Only those who learn to distinguish between a genuine need for rest and mere laziness will gain the strength to act even when they don’t feel like it…

The reverse side of the coin depicts laziness embodied in the form of a sloth sleeping on a branch. The obverse side bears the name and portrait of King Charles III and the nominal value of 5 DOLLARS (NZD), which means the details of the coin’s issuer, the Cook Islands.

The mintage totals just 999 pieces.
