Mason's Coin

A massive copper coin with the image of Masonic symbols — a Radiant Delta (All-Seeing Eye) on one side and a compass with a square on the other.

The inscription Virtus Junxit Mors Non Separabit translates as "What virtue has united, death will not separate".

Masons are the most closed society in the world. There are rumors about the amazing wealth of Freemasons, about their powerful influence on world politics, about their involvement in the overthrow of monarchs and revolutions.

As the Masons themselves explain, their first goal is to improve themselves and the world around them. Everyone who joins the lodge works tirelessly on himself, helping others to become better: more educated, tolerant, understanding.

The second important goal of Freemasons is charity. In some states, Masonic lodges include hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom are very wealthy, they open hospitals in the "third world" countries, provide assistance to the sick, finance the work of educational institutions.

Neither Freemasonry as a whole nor its individual lodges conceal the very fact of their own existence. In addition, any member of the Lodge has the right to declare his membership in the Masons quite openly.

But he has no right to say the same about other Masons — disclosure is strictly prohibited. It is necessary to keep secret the secret words and signs by which Masons recognize each other, special rituals.
