The Guardian's Coin

Issued to the Called. Carried by the Committed.

Some men carry a prayer coin...

Some men carry a lucky coin...

The Guardian carries a vow.

This is not a collectible. It is a commission.

The Guardian’s Coin is the first physical artifact of the Custodes Order - struck in heavyweight zinc alloy with an antique brass finish, bearing the knight of the Order on one face and the blood-red cross of the Guardian on the other.

It was made to be carried. In a pocket. In a wallet. On a desk where a man does his work. Somewhere close enough to touch when the vow grows faint.

This is not a product that ships from a warehouse. Every coin package is prepared, hand-tamped, sealed and dispatched directly from the House of Custodes.

When you take up the coin, you take up the vow.

Pray. Vow. Guard.

THE VOW

The coin carries three words. They are not decoration. They are a code.

PRAY... Keep your faith. Tend it daily. The man who does not pray is a man without an anchor, and the world will pull him from his post.

VOW... Master yourself. Every appetite. Every comfort. Every small pleasure that would make you its servant. You have no master but the One you have chosen.

GUARD... Stand your post. The one given to you. The one no other man can stand. Hold it without complaint, without recognition, for as long as the Way requires.

When the vow grows faint — take up the coin

FAQ:

Is this part of something bigger?

Yes. The Guardian’s Coin is the first physical artifact of the Custodes Order. Behind it is a body of work - a manuscript, a code, a way of life that has been in development for years. The coin arrives first. It is the threshold object. The book - Custodes: Way of the Guardian - is forthcoming, and those entered in the Roll of Guardians will be the first to know when it arrives.

You are not buying into a product line. You are arriving at the beginning of something.

Can I choose my coin number?

No. Numbers are assigned in order of purchase. The man who moves first carries the lowest number.

Is the name stamping permanent?

Yes. Each certificate is hand-stamped and cannot be altered once sealed.

What if I want to gift this?

Enter the recipient’s name at checkout. The certificate will be issued in their name and entered into the Roll of Guardians in their honor.

Can I order more than one?

Each Guardian carries one coin. If you are ordering as a gift, place separate orders with separate names. Each coin must be issued to a named Guardian.
