Description: Scarce die variety, this Fugio Cent isn't something that will be around long. There are not too many coins I talk to my wife about (most of the time she couldn't care less) but this one has some amazing history. Benjamin Franklin designed this coin with a few things in mind. First, his famous phrase "MIND YOUR BUSINESS". Flip to the reverse and you will notice 13 rings representing the 13 colonies but also Mr Franklin's 13 virtues.. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ’d in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty.MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation.TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dulness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
