Let the tigers through the door.

For the past couple of months, I've been thinking up a memento that can serve as a reminder to both myself and my readers that we can't truly live until we've faced the very thing that scares us most. 

What was birthed from this thinking was a striking, one-and-a-half-inch wide brass coin as heavy and as dense as .45 Caliber Slug and hand-forged right here in the United States.

Etched along its face, you'll find a 700 lb tiger-in-miniature lurching to maul your thumb and, along its back, a mantra reminding you to always take the sonofabitch head-on...
