2026 Cook Islands Pride 1 oz silver coin. Originally defined in the fourth century, the seven deadly sins have their roots in early Christianity. The seven deadly sins are: sloth, gluttony, envy, wrath, pride, and greed. These aren't deeds per se, but rather character flaws that keep people from getting closer to God. Pride, the third sin in the series and a fatal flaw according to Christian teaching, is the root of all evil. A inflated sensation of self-importance, of superiority over one's surroundings and one's fellow humans, is what we mean when we talk of pride. Almost no other animal exemplifies this mindset like the lion. It has long represented majesty and pride due to its regal bearing, inherent dominance, and air of supremacy. This inherent magnificence is what gives the fatal sin its subtlety. Pride may be deadly even when it is subdued; it often shows itself dignifiedly, confidently, and with control. Because individuals who think too highly of themselves tend to lose touch with reality and their modesty. There are only 999 of these third editions in circulation, and they all come in the classic colored mint style. A powerful and satirical portrayal of a fatal sin that has been around for as long as humans have. Pride 2.0 now exists.
