1st purchase ever from Mr Rick Snow, author and authority on Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents, really nice to talk with him.

This set commemorates the ascension of Bahá’u’lláh as His earthly life ended this year. His eldest son 'Abdu'l-Bahá, known amongst Bahá'is as the Perfect Exemplar, was appointed the authorized Interpreter and successor in Bahá’u’lláh's written will -- it is the first time in religious history that a Messenger of God has left a written will in His own hand, clearly delineating where continued guidance would be for the development of human spirituality and unity.

In practical terms, the unity of this Faith was preserved -- there is only one Bahá'i Faith, not thousands of denominations or sects -- and thus it can, indeed, unite all humanity in peace and harmony: "unity in diversity" :-)
