Mr. Duane says that this design titled, “Crucible”, required excessive effort to get it right and also required using the talents of multiple artists.
As depicted on this coin, the crucible provides a cool place for those who normally like it hot, as did the Argyraspides warriors.
This round depicts a soldier fighting back the flames of lies and corruption in the world while in search of the truth, and perfectly symbolizes what
the Silver Shield brand is all about.
