+spockske Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Father Damien or Saint Damien of Molokai, Saint Damien de Veuster (January 3, 1840 – April 15, 1889), born Jozef De Veuster, was a Roman Catholic priest. He won recognition for his ministry in the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi to people with leprosy, who had been placed under a government-sanctioned medical quarantine on the island of Molokaʻi. He eventually contracted and died of the disease, resulting in his characterization as a "martyr of charity". He was the 10th person recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church to have lived, worked, and/or died in what is now the United States. The extra thick coin measures 70 by 45 MM. The front and back are a 3D cast zinc alloy with all 3 sides polished and with antique copper plating. The coin comes in a black velvet pouch! The antique copper plating is a limited edition - 100. The tracking codes have the BE prefix. This item has a unique icon, and is trackable at geocaching.com. Quote Link to comment
