Our Pheli Mint logo is an artistic representation of symbols that are meaningful to us.
The initial concept was based of an illustration by Leo Atlookan and first nations artist and close personal friend of Eli and Phil from Fort Hope, Ontario, a remote community in Northern Ontario where "Pheli" use to work. Leo's design was titled, "Go with the power of healing."
He decided to initially draw the medical staff to signify our (Eli’s & Phil’s) professions as nurses and the compassion that we exude through our everyday life, as well as in our workplaces. The eagle feather was sketched behind the staff as a symbol of trust, honour, strength, and wisdom; an image and characteristics that are held in high regard within First Nation culture. The dreamcatcher surrounding the medical staff embodies the idea of protection from negativity and allowing good, positive dreams and actions to make their way through. The twin faces represent the beginning and end of life, the space in between is felt to represent our power of healing.
The medical staff, dream catcher and eagle feather element were maintained from Leo's original design.
From there, we continued to add meaningful elements that were important to us.
The maple leaf to signify Canada and the pride we have in being Canadians and all the opportunity that offers.
The animals on each side of the medical staff are chosen by Phil and Eli to further represent each of them and what they hold dear:

The reverse of this coin bears a image of a seductive, tempting Succubus.
The succubus coin is much more than just a cool image of a pretty girl (although it certainly is). The succubus image has a much deeper and metaphorical meaning to us. It represents the struggle against any form of alluring temptation that may be wrapped in a seductive package but could ultimately lead to your demise.
In traditional folklore the succubus was a beautiful seductive demon who would seduce men, once these men were seduced their health would deteriorate and they would ultimately die. It's possible you could relate to a relationship of this nature where a partner was slowly drawing the life out of you, but on an even deeper level we feel the temptation and deteriorating effects can apply to so many aspects of one's life, not only relationships.
We also feel the succubus can serve as a constant reminder to understand the deeper meaning of anything and ensure we are not blinded by it's beauty or allure.
Lastly we also draw great strength knowing we have overcome challenges and temptations in our lives to breed character and form our personalities. This ultimately led us to our first release titled "Temptation of the Succubus"
