Top Silver Collectible Skull Coin | Zane
Wylie St Gonzaga & Holy Relics
Carving
In 2017, the Republic of
Cameroon created a new
series of silver coins,
celebrating the art motif of
skeletons and skulls in
various cultures.
One of the newest additions
to this collection features a
carved skull honoring St.
Aloysius Gonzaga, created
by renowned skull carving
artist Zane Wylie.
The new coin is based
on an older work by
Zane Wylie, which was
bought by a private
collector for upwards of
$8,500.
While the silver coin has
an image of the skull
embossed, the original art
was carved directly into a
real human skull.
The original human skull
contains fragments of
bones from St. Gonzaga,
as well as two ancient
crosses.
The coins themselves
do not contain
fragments of the holy
relics, though they are
represented in the
artwork.
This new coin is only the tip of the iceberg for the somewhat eccentric
carver, who's recently taken to hiding carved human skulls at theme
parks, for tourists to find and collect.
