Sacred Life: Coins of the Natural World

Sacred Life, Coins of the Natural world features black and white photographs of 360 different coins from 130 countries. The coins were photographed with close-up lenses and the photographs are printed so that each coin is shown three inches in diameter. The magnification of the coins allows the beauty of their images to be clearly seen. The coins were minted in the 19th and 20th centuries. On the coins are shown images of animals, plants, birds, aquatics, reptiles and insects. The theme of the book is that we have living beings shown on our money, let’s use that money to protect life.
