New Jersey Scottish Rite Coin of SGC David Glattly Based on Portrait by Travis Simpkins

New Jersey Scottish Rite Coin of SGC David Glattly, 33°. Portrait by Travis Simpkins

     I am proud that the Scottish Rite Valley of Northern New Jersey used my portrait of David Glattly on a special coin honoring his installation as Sovereign Grand Commander of the NMJ. Here it is, front and back alongside my original drawing. It is interesting for me to see something I created being interpreted through another's design. They did a great job with it. All proceeds from coin sales benefit the Almoner's Fund.
