Black Skull of Crom Coin - Blackened Bronze
Crom, Count the Dead!
This blackened coin was made to pay homage to the Cimmerian deity, Crom, whose chief function is to count the dead in battle. Crom watches and judges all, and it may be better to avoid his attention, as he likely brings trouble and doom. The use of Crom's name as a curse identifies Conan as a Cimmerian. The obverse of this coin bears a skull, while the reverse depicts a stylized vulture and the inscription, "Crom Counts the Dead" inscribed in Icelandic Elder Futhark runes.

Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
The crom coin is dark and foreboding. Nice skull on obverse and a vulture on reverse.
It's definitely what I wanted. My only issue is how small it is. I ordered the Middle Earth Wayfinder coin at the same time and it's much larger / heavier. If the Crom coin was that size then I would give it 5 stars. Needless to say, comparison is the thief of joy.
The coin its self is small, very clear and deep imagery. I will be buying another as my wife Confiscated mine for her own reasons.
It's a beautiful coin. The recipient loved it.
By Croms bloody teeth! Great craftsmanship!
