Remember When Men Slew Dragons?

Do you remember the stories we loved as boys?

The brave knight who rode beyond the safety of the village.

The terrible dragon that threatened the people.

The families who waited behind the walls, hoping someone would have the courage to face what they could not.

And the knight who went anyway.

We admired those men.

Not because they were wealthy.

Not because they were famous.

Not because their lives were comfortable.

We admired them because they were brave.

They understood that strength came with responsibility.

That courage sometimes required sacrifice.

And that protecting others was more honorable than living only for oneself.

Of course, the dragons belonged to the stories.

But the virtues those stories celebrated were real.

Courage. Duty. Sacrifice. Faithfulness.

And somewhere along the way, perhaps we began telling fewer stories about those things.

Today, our children are surrounded by heroes who are celebrated for their fame, their wealth, or their ability to entertain.

But what about the men who quietly do what is right?

The fathers who remain faithful to their families.

The pastors who refuse to compromise the Word of God.

The men who stand for truth when doing so comes at a cost.

The Christians who would rather suffer for righteousness than abandon their convictions.

Those are the kinds of men our children should learn to admire.

The Remember When Men Slew Dragons? coin was created to remind us of those virtues.

And more importantly, to encourage us to pass them on.

The Father's Legacy — Teach Them to Stand

There is something greater than being the hero of a story.

Raising a son who understands why the hero was brave.

The reverse of this coin tells that story.

A weathered father stands beside his young son.

His armor bears the marks of battles fought. His sword rests between them, and his hand is placed upon his son's shoulder.

Behind them stands the village.

The father has spent his life defending what was entrusted to him.

But he understands that he will not always be there.

One day, his son must stand on his own.

So he teaches him.

Not merely how to hold a sword.

But why a man must be courageous.

Why he must tell the truth.

Why he must protect the innocent.

Why he must remain faithful when obedience becomes difficult.

And above all, why he must fear God more than man.

Across the top of the coin are the words:

TEACH THEM TO STAND

Because fatherhood is not simply about protecting our children from every difficulty.

It is about preparing them to face the world with wisdom, courage, and convictions rooted in the Word of God.

The father fought the dragons of his day.

Now he prepares his son to face the dragons of tomorrow.

That is the father's legacy.

The God of Peace Shall Bruise Satan

The dragon has long represented danger, destruction, and evil in the stories we tell.

Scripture itself uses the image of the great dragon to describe Satan.

But the Christian's confidence is not found in the strength of man.

It is found in the power and promises of God.

The Apostle Paul wrote:

“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” — Romans 16:20

Consider that promise.

The God of peace shall bruise Satan.

The ultimate victory over the adversary belongs to God.

We do not overcome Satan through earthly weapons or human strength.

We stand fast in the faith, resist the devil, and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

That is why this coin is more than a celebration of bravery.

It is a reminder of the foundation upon which true Christian courage must stand.

We do not teach our children merely to be strong.

We teach them to be faithful.

We do not teach them merely to confront danger.

We teach them to fear the Lord.

And we do not teach them to trust in their own strength.

We teach them to trust in the God who gives the victory.

The Design

Front — The Dragon Slayer

The front depicts a battle-worn medieval knight standing over a slain dragon.

His armor bears the marks of conflict. His sword remains beside him, and his boot rests upon the defeated creature.

Behind him stands the village he has fought to protect.

Around the edge are the words:

REMEMBER WHEN MEN SLEW DRAGONS?

The artwork celebrates the courage, sacrifice, and sense of duty represented by the knights of old.

It is a reminder that strength is most honorable when used in service to others.

Back — The Father's Legacy

The reverse depicts a father and son standing together.

The father is a seasoned warrior, his armor weathered by years of service.

His son stands upright beside him, looking toward his father as he learns the responsibilities that will one day become his own.

Between them stands a sword, representing the courage, duty, and convictions being passed from one generation to the next.

In the distance lies the village they are called to protect.

Around the upper edge are the words:

TEACH THEM TO STAND

Along the bottom is the Scripture reference:

ROMANS 16:20

Together, the two sides tell a single story.

The front honors the courage of those who stood before us. The back reminds us to prepare those who will stand after us.

Why Carry It?

Because courage is still worth remembering.

Because our children are still watching.

And because the example we leave behind may shape generations we will never meet.

Keep this coin in your pocket, on your desk, or wherever you will see it throughout the day.

Let it remind you to be the kind of man whose faith is worth imitating.

To keep your word.

To remain faithful to your family.

To stand for biblical truth.

To protect those who cannot protect themselves.

To be courageous without becoming cruel.

To be strong without becoming proud.

And to remember that your greatest responsibility is not merely to provide your children with a comfortable life.

It is to teach them the truth of God's Word and prepare them to live faithfully before Him.

The dragons of our childhood stories may have been imaginary.

But the need for courage, conviction, and faithfulness is very real.

Don't merely tell your children stories about brave men. Give them an example worth following.

A Gift From Father to Son

There are gifts a boy enjoys for a season.

And there are gifts whose meaning grows as he becomes a man.

This coin was created with the second kind in mind.

Imagine a father giving this coin to his son.

He shows him the knight standing over the dragon.

He tells him about the brave men who defended their people, stood for what was right, and accepted hardship rather than abandoning their duty.

Then he turns the coin over.

And there, standing beside his son, is another father.

A father passing on something more valuable than a sword.

A legacy of courage, conviction, and faith.

The Remember When Men Slew Dragons? coin makes a meaningful gift for fathers, sons, grandfathers, mentors, and Christian men who understand the importance of passing biblical principles to the next generation.

Whether given for a birthday, graduation, baptism, Father's Day, or simply as a reminder of the man a young boy is growing to become, its message remains the same:

Teach them to stand.

Teach them to be courageous.

Teach them to be faithful.

Teach them to fear the Lord.

Because one day, our children will tell stories about the men they admired.

May we give them something worth remembering.
