As depicted in the Book of Revelation, Jesus is a celestial judge of the “quick and the dead” who explicitly identifies Himself as God, calling Himself the Alpha and the Omega in parallel fashion to the Deity’s self-description as “first” and “last” in the Book of Isaiah. The awe-inspiring Christ of the Second Coming shaped and influenced centuries of theology and was often depicted by a specific type of imagery asChrist Pantocrator,the Almighty. This serene and lofty version of Jesus inspires the first release in Scottsdale Mint’s Jesus Collection. The 2021 Samoa Alpha and Omega 1 oz Gold Coin is available from Provident Metals.

History
The inaugural issue in the Jesus Collection, the Alpha and Omega range of coins all contribute donations with every purchase to a unique Coins for Charity project run in cooperation with the GlobalFingerprints ministry, dedicated to building a school for children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In tribute to the spirit of Christian teachings about charity and the deeds of Jesus on Earth, this golden coin contributes $40 (USD) per purchase to a school in the village of Gemena, with a series of stretch goals in the program aiming to provide a range of amenities including an annex for hearing-impaired students, a local well, a prosthetics workshop, and a dedicated van for transporting disabled students.
