The Black Horse is the Third Carpathian Mint bullion coin produced, with the same design of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse collector coin series. This series will consist of four coins.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are described in the Holy Bible, in the first part of the sixth chapter of Revelation. The chapter speaks of a scroll in the right hand of God that is sealed with seven seals, in that scenario Jesus opens the first four seals of the seven, releasing these horsemen who ride on four horses, white, red, black and yellow. According to exegesis they represent and are allegories of conquest, war, famine and death, respectively, although only the latter is designated by this name.

In John’s revelation:

The first horseman rides a white horse, carries a bow, and is given a crown as a figure of conquest, perhaps invoking pestilence, Christ, or the Antichrist.

The second horseman rides a Red Horse carrying a sword as the creator of (civil) war, conflict, and strife.

The third, a food merchant, rides a black horse symbolising famine and carries the scales.

The fourth and final horse is pale, upon it rides Death, accompanied by Hades. “They were given authority over a quarter of the Earth, to kill with sword, famine and plague, and by means of the beasts of the Earth.”

On the reverse of the coin we can appreciate exactly the same design as the collector coin series, however, on the obverse we can appreciate a change in the issuing country and face value, 5 Thalers and Carpathians instead of Niue and 5 Dollars.

Each coin comes with its capsule and certificate of authenticity. Only 5,000 pieces are available worldwide.
