This is the start of a series on historical rivalries. The first edition highlights the famous rivalry between Caesar and Brutus. This was not only a political conflict, but also a personal tragedy. Brutus' actions exemplify the conflict between loyalty to a person and loyalty to principles.
The Caesar vs. Brutus – Blades of Freedom & Betrayal coin is a tribute to one of the most famous turning points in world history: March 15, 44 BC, the “Ides of March.” This day symbolizes Caesar's assassination and the inseparable connection between freedom, betrayal, and power. The duality of these events is depicted in a captivating design, with the coin capturing both the heroic and tragic moments.
The front and back of the coin are set in a tense dialogue that reflects the controversial interpretation of the events: Brutus appears in the toga of a Roman senator, dressed with dignity but also with guilt. The detailed relief emphasizes his serious expression, which reflects the moral burden of his decision. The grayscale finish gives the figure depth and dramatic shadows, making him appear both as a hero of the republic and as a symbol of betrayal. Brutus is surrounded by subtly engraved, net-like lines that symbolize the intrigues and power games that made Caesar's assassination possible. Twenty-three notches protrude from the edge—a detail that represents the 23 stab wounds with which Caesar was killed. The notches are interspersed with fine relief lines that resemble a spider's web, illustrating the web of betrayal and power struggles. The edge is also ribbed, giving it a special tactile quality that emphasizes the sharpness and violence of the moment.
The dagger, as the central design element, represents not only the act itself, but also the separation between the two men. The polished blade with its shiny contour forms a stylistic highlight of the coin. Its sharp tip is accentuated by the broad PP line on the edge, placing the dagger as a deadly symbol at the center of attention.
On the other side of the coin, Caesar is enthroned on horseback in military armor. The partially polished surface highlights details such as his armor and gives him an almost supernatural presence. But here, too, the design is multi-layered: his proud posture contrasts with the tragedy of his approaching fate.
