Brass Knuckles with saint vs demon symbology


“Fiat iustitia et pereat mundus”

Usually translated:

“Let justice be done, even if the world perishes.”

It’s historically associated with medieval and later legal tradition, sometimes attributed to Ferdinand I.

🔹 The coin reads

  • SENTIA MUNIAMUR (likely intended as sentia muniāmur)

  • EUS IN OBITU NRO PSE… (looks like part of a Benedictine prayer)

  • Depicts a saint-like figure with halo and buildings

This resembles imagery used on Saint Benedict medallions, often engraved with Latin against evil/harm.

📌 Summary

Engravings include Latin phrases such as:

  • Fiat Iustitia

  • Fiat Iustitia et Pereat Mundus

  • Holy Spiritus

  • Spiritus

  • Pereat Mundus

  • Demon

  • and saint-related inscriptions on the medallion beneath

All referring broadly to:

  • justice

  • spirit

  • good/evil

  • religious protection
