Castle Zealot Demon Hobo Coin 1893 – Gothic...

This castle zealot demon hobo coin features a horned cultist figure with ritual dagger and inverted cross on one side and a classic Morgan Dollar eagle on the reverse, in an 1893 carved design. The intricate relief work captures a dramatic castle zealot rendered in the traditional hobo nickel carving style, evoking the gothic horror of medieval cult rituals and fortress dungeons. The red-toned finish adds intensity to the dark imagery, creating a striking collectible that showcases the darker side of hobo nickel art tradition.

Hobo nickel carving emerged in the early 20th century as itinerant artists carved intricate designs into Buffalo nickels and Morgan dollars, creating unique folk art pieces. While many hobo artists carved portraits and whimsical characters, some explored darker themes including demons, cultists, and occult imagery. This coin honors that gothic tradition with a horned castle zealot figure holding a ritual dagger, accompanied by an inverted cross symbol—imagery reminiscent of gothic horror games like Resident Evil 4's Los Illuminados cult. The 1893 Morgan Dollar base connects this piece to American numismatic history, while the carved imagery pushes into dark fantasy and horror territory. This piece is a Gothic hobo nickel collectible coin designed for display and collection.

About the Design

The obverse features exceptional carving detail in the castle zealot figure, from the prominent horns to the ritual dagger and inverted cross symbolism. The "E Pluribus Unum" inscription and decorative border maintain the Morgan Dollar aesthetic while the carved imagery transforms it into something entirely new. The castle zealot theme evokes medieval cult horror, fortress dungeons, and ritualistic imagery that appeals to gothic horror and dark fantasy collectors. The reverse preserves the classic American eagle with laurel wreath design, creating a fascinating contrast between traditional coinage and horror art. The antique silver finish with subtle red toning enhances the zealot theme and gives the coin an aged, authentic hobo nickel appearance.
