SEVEN DEADLY SINS – PRIDE: 2026 Cook Islands 1oz proof silver coin

The seven deadly sins originated in early Christianity and were first formulated in the 4th century. The seven deadly sins are: pride, greed, lust, wrath, gluttony, envy, and sloth. They are not considered concrete actions, but rather inner attitudes or vices that can distance people from God.

The third installment of the series is dedicated to pride – that deadly sin often considered in Christian tradition to be the origin of all other vices. Pride signifies an exaggerated sense of self-importance, the feeling of being above things and above other people. One animal embodies this attitude like almost no other: the lion. With its majestic appearance, its natural dominance, and the aura of absolute superiority, it has always been a symbol of pride and royalty. It is precisely this natural grandeur that makes the deadly sin so subtle. Pride doesn’t manifest itself loudly or aggressively, but often dignifiedly, confidently, and with control – and yet it is dangerous. For those who elevate themselves too much easily lose sight of reality and humility.

This third edition also appears as a classic, colored mint and is limited to only 999 pieces worldwide. An impressive yet ironic depiction of a deadly sin as old as humanity itself. Pride 2.0!
