Mythology Metal Cards

Upgrade Any Credit Card Into a Mythology Metal Card

Gods, beasts, and legends were first carved into metal thousands of years ago. A payment card is just the newest surface.

Lion Card converts your plastic credit, debit, or prepaid card into a laser-engraved mythology metal card via our patented EMV chip transplant, U.S. Patent No. 11,562,194, trusted by over 50,000 customers since 2015.

Still your card. Same account, same number, same bank. Now it carries a legend.

Why Myth Lovers Choose Engraved Metal

Mythic art was born in engraving, and steel gives it back its original medium.

• Carved the ancient way: Gods, dragons, and sigils were always cut into metal, and the laser continues the tradition at micron precision.
• Detail worthy of the pantheon: Scales, wings, laurels, and script hold their intricacy at card size because engraving keeps a finer line than print.
• 28 grams of relic weight: A plastic card weighs about 6 grams. Yours weighs 28, closer to a coin from an older world.
• A story told daily: Every payment puts the legend back in circulation.
• Preset or fully custom: Pick a pantheon above, or bring your own deity, beast, or symbol to our custom team.

Figures or Symbols, How to Choose

Mythology engraves in two registers, the full figure and the mark it left behind.

Choose figures for the epic

A god, beast, or hero rendered in full commands the card face like a temple relief. Intricate linework stays sharp in steel, and your mockup shows the final composition. This is the collection at its most dramatic.

Choose symbols for the subtle

Runes, sigils, laurels, and sacred geometry carry the same weight in quieter form. They read as meaning to those who know and as elegance to those who do not.

How It Works

Your card gets re-engineered, not recreated. We transplant your real EMV chip into a metal body, so your account number and bank never change. Simple on your end, precise on ours.

• Order: Pick a design and get a prepaid, tracked label by email.
• Ship: Send your card, or freeze it first. We never ask for your PIN.
• Approve: Sign off on the emailed mockup before anything is made.
• Receive: Both cards come back together with tracking.

Does a mythology design change how the card works?

No. Chip insert and swipe work anywhere your original card worked, and you can tap through Apple Pay or Google Pay. Just avoid ATMs that pull the card fully in.

Can you engrave a deity or creature from any tradition?

Usually, yes. Norse, Greek, Egyptian, East Asian, and many other traditions all appear in our custom work. Share your reference and the team builds a mockup for approval before cutting.

Will intricate details like scales and script stay sharp?

Yes, that intricacy is where engraving outperforms print. The laser holds a finer line, so dense detail stays crisp at card size. Our team adjusts contrast on your mockup so nothing muddies.

Can I combine a figure with a rune or motto?

Yes, figure-plus-inscription is a classic pairing here. Text engraves cleanly along a border or beneath the figure. Placement and typeface appear in your mockup first.

Which metal suits mythic designs best?

Both carry it well, and the choice is tone. Brass reads like an ancient gold artifact, while stainless steel reads like forged armor. Your design previews on your chosen metal in the mockup.

Is it safe to mail you my card?

Yes. Lion Card is PCI compliant and BBB A+ accredited, and we guarantee a safe process or your money back. Freeze your card before mailing, and we never ask for your PIN or passwords.
