St. Carpal – 1 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver Round | Modern Day Patron Saints Series

Description:
Meet St. Carpal, the tongue-in-cheek yet reverent inaugural release in the Modern Day Patron Saints Series. Struck in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this piece humorously canonizes a modern affliction shared by typists, coders, gamers, and office warriors alike — carpal tunnel — while honoring it with classical medallic artistry and exceptional engraving.

The obverse features St. Carpal rendered in traditional saintly iconography, complete with halo and raised blessing hand. In his other hand, he solemnly holds a computer keyboard — a modern relic symbolizing the countless hours spent at desks and devices. Above his halo appears the Latin phrase “EGO SUM LASSUS” (“I am weary”), a knowing nod to repetitive strain and digital devotion. Encircling the scene is the inscription “ST. CARPAL – PATRON SAINT OF THE TYPING-WEARY”, blending reverence with sharp wit.

The reverse displays the ornate Modern Day Patron Saints monogram framed by flowing classical scrollwork, crowned with a halo and struck with crisp detail. Along the rim, inscriptions mark the series name, Intaglio Mint hallmark, purity, weight, and the satirical date 1999 A.D., commemorating the dawn of the modern digital age.

This round is both a finely crafted silver collectible and a clever cultural commentary — perfect for collectors who appreciate humor, craftsmanship, and the shared rituals of modern life.
