Canada Vernon, BC, Okanagan R.A. Chapter No. 11 Masonic Penny
This Masonic penny features the Star of David on the obverse. The reverse displays the Masonic keystone -- a symbol of completion and stability. The text inside the keystone reads "HTWSSTKS," which stands for "Hiram, Tyrian, Widow's Son, Sent to King Solomon." This refers to Hiram, the architect of King Solomon's Temple. According to Masonic legend, Hiram was beset by villains who demanded Masonic secrets from him. Hiram refused his attackers and was murdered. It's a story meant to inspire loyalty -- and its inclusion in Masonic imagery identifies a Royal Arch Mason who reached, at least, the third degree.
