Before the Kannibal Coat of Arms became the standard reverse for my art bars, it appeared here, on a single-ounce, proof-like bar that carried both eras on its back. One side shows my original reverse; the other bears the full Kannibal heraldry, unfurled for the first time.
These bars were first released in 2020 and vanished quickly into private stacks. The three offered here have been bought back from an original buyer, pulled out of hiding and returned to the lair for one last offering. They’re not leftover inventory; they’re recovered relics of dark heraldry.
The Kannibal Coat of Arms - Symbols That Don’t Stay Dead
Rendered in stark contrast-black (Sable) and gold (Or) brought into silver, the arms are built like a story carved into metal:
-
Quarterly shield, Sable and Or
-
First quarter: a triple-towered castle Or - for Castile, the stronghold of strength, secrecy, and the keep where treasures should never leave.
-
Second quarter: my original crown-and-diamond makers mark Or, claiming authorship over whatever wealth this shield guards.
-
Third quarter: a vampiric skull Or -not just a token of the grave, but a sigil of those who laugh at death, feed on it, and walk away undefeated. It stands for conquering death, surviving what should have ended you, and carrying the mark as proof.
-
Fourth quarter: three bullion bars Or - the hoard itself, stacked, sealed, and sworn to stay in the hands of those worthy.
-
-
Inverted Templar cross Or - rises through the quarters, a vertical and horizontal bar separating each field—a broken standard bearing witness instead of salvation.
-
Crown: above the shield sits a modified Spanish royal crown capped with an inverted cross, honoring old bloodlines while openly defying them.
-
Supporter: a bicephalous bat, wings spread. One head faces east, one west, keeper of the hoard across both horizons, watching where the sun rises and where it dies. It turns the bar into a kind of nocturnal standard: whatever passes under these wings is watched from all sides.
Taken together, the arms read like a threat and a promise:
The castle holds. The mark is claimed. Death is survived. The treasure remains.
Transitional Reverse - Two Eras, One Bar
-
Original Reverse Side
-
Mirror-like fields with frosted devices.
-
The crowned diamond flanked by the reversed “K” and “H”, classic purity and weight legends.
-
This is the early Kannibal Hektor identity, sharp, minimal, brutally clean.
-
-
Coat of Arms Side
-
Proof-like contrast framing the full Kannibal Coat of Arms.
-
Deep, crisp devices that pop against dark fields, as if the shield and bat were lit by a single candle in a vault.
-
This bar is the hinge between both designs, breath of the old style and the first strike of the new.

The old reverse still breathes on one side; the new Coat of Arms stares down death on the other. These three ounces are all that remain in my hands from that first coronation run in 2020.
