What are the Seals of King Solomon?+
The Seals of King Solomon are 44 talismanic figures preserved in the medieval grimoire known as the Greater Key of Solomon (Clavicula Salomonis). Each pentacle combines sacred geometry, divine names in Hebrew, and planetary correspondences (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) within a structured esoteric framework.
How many Seals of King Solomon are there?+
The classical Solomonic system most commonly referenced today includes 44 pentacles organized by the seven traditional planets: 7 of Jupiter, 7 of Mars, 7 of Saturn, 7 of the Sun, 6 of the Moon, 5 of Mercury, and 5 of Venus.
What is the difference between the Seal of Solomon and the Star of David?+
Both share the six-pointed hexagram form, but their origins differ. The Seal of Solomon is rooted in medieval magical and Kabbalistic traditions as the legendary signet ring of King Solomon. The Star of David became a Jewish religious and national symbol in the 14th century, drawn in part from Seal-of-Solomon iconography. Today they are visually similar but used in distinct spiritual contexts.
Are the Seals of King Solomon biblical?+
King Solomon himself appears in the Hebrew Bible (1 Kings, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes) and the Quran. The seals attributed to him, however, come from later traditions: medieval Jewish, Islamic, and Christian mystical writings, especially the Greater Key of Solomon, which most scholars date to the 14th-15th century. The biblical Solomon is the inspiration; the pentacles are a later Solomonic tradition.
What are the 72 Names of God?+
The 72 Names of God are 72 three-letter Hebrew sequences derived from Exodus 14:19-21 in the Hebrew Bible. In Kabbalistic tradition, each name corresponds to a specific quality or pathway. King Solomon Coin features all 72 Names of God on the reverse of every coin, paired with the Solomonic seal on the front.
Which King Solomon Seal is for wealth, protection, or love?+
Traditional correspondences in the Greater Key of Solomon assign different seals to different intentions. For wealth and prosperity: the Pentacles of Jupiter (especially the 4th Pentacle of Jupiter for riches, and the 1st for business success). For protection: the Pentacles of Mars and the Seal of Seven Archangels. For love and harmony: the Pentacles of Venus. For wisdom: the Pentacles of the Sun.
Why is brass the traditional metal for Solomonic talismans?+
Brass has been used for sacred and ceremonial objects since antiquity for two reasons. Practically, it is durable, takes detailed engraving well, and holds a warm gold-tone finish without the cost of pure gold. Symbolically, brass was associated with the Sun and with ceremonial authority in many ancient traditions. Every King Solomon Coin piece is cast in solid brass with double-sided engraving.
What is the difference between a pentacle, a sigil, and a seal?+
These terms overlap in occult literature. A seal is the visible sign or signature of a spiritual force, often used to invoke or contain that force. A sigil is typically a single symbol representing a specific spirit, name, or intention. A pentacle in the Solomonic tradition is a more elaborate composite figure, usually circular, that combines a seal or sigil with sacred names, geometric structure, and Bible verses. The 44 figures in the Greater Key are technically pentacles, though commonly called seals.
Are the Seals of King Solomon Jewish, Christian, or occult?+
All three traditions claim the Solomonic legacy. The figure of King Solomon is shared across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The medieval grimoires that codified the 44 pentacles drew heavily on Jewish Kabbalah while being compiled, edited, and transmitted by Christian scholars and later by occultists in the Renaissance and 19th century. Modern interest spans all three traditions plus contemporary esoteric study.
