Silver coin Cobellian 2 oz

Cobellian comes to life as the first coin inspired by The Traveler’s Guide to Drawing Extraordinary Creatures of the Universe, created by Amelie and Mike Butkus.

From the depths of the cosmos emerges Cobellian — founder of the Order of Stride, a rising alliance of interplanetary artists bound by curiosity, creation, and courage. A master of knowledge and craft, he stands as both brilliant academic and technical artist, shaping worlds with seventy hands, each devoted to discovery.

This release also marks the beginning of a journey toward the upcoming book by Amelie Butkus — a rising YA and dark fantasy author, recent Berkeley graduate, and writer of A Lamplighter in Larkeney and The Witch in the Wall — and her father Mike Butkus, a legendary illustrator in the movie industry with over 5,000 projects and seven published books.

On this coin, Cobellian takes form with seventy hands in motion — a living testament to the power of creation. Contrasting UV printing breathes life into the savant, while pure silver and gilded accents highlight his brilliance. The border reflects the discipline of the Order of Stride, framing a story where imagination knows no limits.

This is not just a collectible — it is an invitation to step beyond the familiar and be part of the very beginning of a journey where coin and story intertwine.
