The Russian freelance artist Aleksey Saburov is part of the move. The Original Hobo Nickel Society was founded in 1992, with the main purpose to preserve this American Heritage. In the contemporary times, the genuine hobo coins became extremely rare and became highly appreciated by collectors. In time, this led to the name of “hobo coins”. The coin value was so low that talented vagrants (homeless people with no means of support – hobos) begun to rework them in an attempt of a profit. Starting with 1913, the five cent nickel coins gained the name of “poor’s man coin”. The Corum Heritage “Hobo Coin” is a tribute paid to the street artists of the Great Depression. The first watches used a US$20 gold coin and now the brand goes with bespoke US$1 silver “Hobo” Coins. Corum Coin watches stand out through originality: the watch is built around a real coin.
