Product Details

St. Thomas is the fifth release in the highly coveted 12 Apostles Series that commemorates one of the most thought-provoking figures among Christ’s disciples. Known to many as “Doubting Thomas”, his journey of faith stands as one of the most compelling narratives in Christian history — a story that speaks to the struggle of belief, the need for proof and the ultimate acceptance of divine truth.

St. Thomas was not one to follow blindly; he questioned, he doubted and he sought tangible evidence. Yet, when he was finally confronted with the risen Christ, he uttered one of the most profound declarations of faith:

“My Lord and my God!”

This coin encapsulates both his moment of doubt and his ultimate conviction, illustrating the deep transformation of a man who once demanded proof but went on to travel across distant lands to spread the Gospel. His name echoes through time, not as a doubter, but as an apostle who brought the light of Christianity to regions beyond the known world.

The design:

The reverse of the St. Thomas Coin captures the most defining moment of his life — the moment his doubt was replaced by faith. The high-relief strike and 24K gilding brings this intense scene to life, depicting St. Thomas touching Christ’s wounds, his face etched with astonishment, reverence and conviction. The composition is masterfully framed by intricate embellishments, drawing the viewer into this emotional exchange. Beneath the scene, the inscription “St. Thomas” is carefully engraved, honoring his transformation from a doubter to one of the greatest missionaries in history.

The obverse features the Cross of St. Thomas, an intricately woven structure of faith, doubt, and devotion. Unlike traditional designs, this cross reflects fluid, organic shapes intertwined with strong, defined elements, representing the complexity of belief—the tension between uncertainty and unwavering conviction.
