2025 Cook Islands 1 Ounce Seven Deadly Sins Gluttony Silver Proof Coin
The Seven Deadly Sins originated in early Christianity and were first formulated in the 4th century. However, it was not until the 13th century that the important theologian and philosopher Thomas Aquinas integrated them into Catholic moral teaching.
The Seven Deadly sins are: Pride, Avarice, Lust, Wrath, Gluttony, Envy and Sloth. They are not regarded as concrete actions, but as inner attitudes or vices that distance people from God and can lead to serious spiritual peril.
The second edition of the series takes up the theme of gluttony, the excessive preoccupation with eating and drinking. What animal could be better suited to this than the Giant Panda Bear?
They spend an average of 14 hours a day eating bamboo, consuming up to 40 kg per day., excess in its highest form. The Panda thus becomes a symbol of “never getting enough.” Yet it appears harmless, cute and peaceful – which is precisely what makes the parallel so exciting: a deadly sin like gluttony often appears tempting, almost “innocent”, even though it has destructive
dimensions.
This classic colored silver coin is limited to only 999 pieces worldwide and is an ironic depiction of this deadly sin.
