Master Mason Challenge Coin | Solomon's Temple and the Three Ruffians

He Kept the Secrets. They Buried Him for It.

Every Master Mason knows the legend. Three ruffians, impatient for wages they hadn't earned, cornered Grand Master Hiram Abiff and demanded the secrets of a Master Mason. He refused. They struck him down and hid him in the rubbish of the Temple.

This coin carries the whole third degree in your pocket. One side holds the search. The other holds the demand.

Obverse: Search Among the Ruins

The Temple stands half-built in rubble and broken stone, scaffolding still up against a burning sky. Around it: Search Among the Ruins and Buried in the Rubbish of the Temple.

Reverse: Reveal the Secrets

Three ruffians stand before Solomon's Temple, aprons on and working tools in hand. Solomon's Temple above. Reveal the Secrets below. He never did.
