Worm Moon Pendant
☽ Oh, to be a worm on a moon. ☾
We here at Shire Post Mint are starry-eyed for moons of all shapes and sizes, especially the ones that summon our wriggling friends to the surface after a long, worm-less winter. They are coming, and we want to celebrate.
This springtime coming-of-worms is why the final phase of March's moon has historically been dubbed the "Worm Moon". As the soil grows warmer, the earthworms begin to emerge.
In commemoration of this year's Worm Moon, we collaborated with jeweler and invertebrate enthusiast, Eli Betchik, to handcraft a limited run of this one-of-a-kind pendant.
This pendant combines our Harvest Moon coin - featuring a geographically (technically it's selenographically) correct 136,794,240:1 scale design of the surface texture of both its near and far side - and an intricately sculpted copper worm, which dances along the edge in a most worm-like fashion.
- Moon is struck in brass
- Worm is crafted from copper
- 12 g (with chain)
- Comes with 18" sterling silver chain + lobster clasp
- Expert patina to highlight the engraving
* Please Note: Each worm was made carefully by hand, no two will look exactly alike!

Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
