For centuries, secret societies have shaped the course of history — cloaked in mystery, power, and hidden knowledge. The Knights Templar, one of the most legendary of them all, rose as warrior-monks sworn to protect pilgrims and sacred relics. Their motto encircles the coin: Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam — “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Thy name give glory.”

Struck from 2oz of .999 fine silver with an antique finish, the coin portrays a Templar knight in commanding high relief, sword raised and ready for battle. Digital printing together with digital gilding bring vivid historical life to the scene — from the crimson crosses to the glint of sacred gold. The obverse reveals a keyhole shrouded in esoteric symbols, inviting the viewer beyond the veil of the known.

This inaugural issue of the Secret Societies collection by MINT XXI opens the gate to a journey through history’s most enigmatic brotherhoods.
