According to legend, St. Christopher was a huge, powerful man who made his living carrying people across a river. One day one of his passengers was a child who grew increasing heavy as Christopher walked through the water. The child eventually revealed himself as Christ (the name Christopher means Christ-bearer), his great heaviness caused by his having to carry the weight of the world. Because of this legend Christopher is the patron of travelers and motorists in particular. This coin was hand carved by Hank Schlau and is cast in pewter.
