MYSTERY COIN WITH FREE MASON AND ROSICRUCIAN SYMBOLS PUZZLES EXPERTS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 12, 2009 -- A Canadian collectibles dealer buys a mixed-bag coin, medal and token job lot, sifts, finds a few he considers valuable, stashes the rest and moves on. Earlier this year the dealer remembers what he put away a couple of years ago, goes through them and finds a coin/token/medal that might interest an architect friend with Vatican connections.

The architect, remembering his privileged visit to the Vatican's archive, suggests to the dealer that the coin/token may well have important historic significance.

An analysis of the coin/token is performed at the University of Toronto's Metallurgy Labs. It is in excellent condition and made of tin - which tends to deteriorate with handling and probably from the 14 or 1500s. The only other tin coins made in that era were in Portugal for use in Goa - India - then a Portuguese colony. A limited number of tin coins were made in Thailand, Borneo and Indonesia at that time. There are very few remaining tin coins from back then. The scratch lines in the patina on the reverse were made later.

The dealer then showed the coin to various experts in order to decipher the symbols on its face and learned that it’s probably Rosicrucian and probably from the original eight Rosicrucian’s. The symbols represent the Rosy Cross, the Eye of Horus, la Fleur Rose and the three nails of the Crucifixion. The inscription in German - reads "Zum Andenken an die Heilige Mission - In Memory of the Holy Mission". No tin coins or medallions are known to have been made in Germany in those days.

Age-old hidden mysteries in books such as The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury, and The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry are filled with symbols similar to those on this coin. Dan Brown, in his books, has speculated on the many types of historic symbolism and imagery, particularly in his recent, The Lost Symbol. This, if the reader will forgive, leads to speculation about how this coin, with its powerful symbology and potential provenance, ended-up in Canada.

It may have arrived in Canada along with the Holy Grail and The Knights Templar on Oak Island or at Saint Marie Among The Hurons with Jesuit missionaries... Or perhaps with escaping Nazis...?
