2018 TEMPTATION OF THE SUCCUBUSThis week I came across the web site of Canadian private minting company Pheli Mint. Featured on their home page was a wonderful plaster for anew silver round product. -Editor
The plaster has arrived! We're one step closer to final product, now to make the epoxy mold and then dies! Stay tuned for more updates! The company ran an online contest for graphic designers. Here's how they envisioned the 2017 design. -Editor The Succubus has a metaphorical meaning for us, representing the struggles against any form of alluring temptation; so it is a must that she is represented this way. She needs to be seductive, beautiful, alluring and tempting however not sexually suggestive or pornographic. We would like to give the artists free artistic reign. We want her to appear more seductive, more sexually appealing with less clothing while still being tasteful (no nudity, no sexually suggestive poses). We do like larger wings, and we would like to see a larger portrait of her face. As far as the other "typical" succubus features like horns, tail, finger nails etc...we give you free creativity. With regards to the background details, we wanted to try to incorporate some of her male victims, whether they appear as discarded corpses or otherwise captured men. To see all the submitted designs, see: The sensual and lifelike design reminded me of the work of sculptor Heidi Wastweet. It's nice to see a commercial site discussing the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating a new numismatic product. Silver rounds don't have to be bland and uninspired. Some exhibit great design and workmanship; others can express political themes in the great tradition of medallic art. Here's another piece marketed on their site. -Editor   2018 Cannabis Cures by Silver Shield I reached out to them by email and cofounder Phil Beauchamp kindly provided additional information about the plaster and sculpt. See the following new articles. Thanks! The plaster was created by Luigi Badia. -Editor To read the articles, see: For more information, see:  Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
