Thx, Isaacus not working,

This commemorative bronze medal was struck to mark the passing of Sir Isaac Newton. As well as being a notable scientist, Sir Isaac Newton served as the Master of The Royal Mint from 1699 until his death in 1727. This bronze medal is year-dated 1727 and is in Extremely Fine condition. The obverse of the medal features a draped bust of Sir Isaac Newton. The reverse features an image of Newton’s Monument at Westminster Abbey – where Sir Isaac Newton was buried.

The relief panel of the monument depicts boys using instruments related to Newton's mathematical and optical work. One has a telescope, one is looking through a prism and another is balancing the sun and planets on a steel yard. Others depict Newton's activities as Master of the Mint (producing coin of the realm) – the figures carry pots of coins and an ingot (bar) of metal is being put into a furnace.

Above the sarcophagus is a reclining figure of Newton, in classical costume, his right elbow resting on several books representing his great works. With his left hand he points to a scroll with a mathematical design shown on it, held by two standing winged boys. The background is a pyramid on which is a celestial globe with the signs of the Zodiac, of the constellations, and with the path of the comet of 1680. On top of the globe sits a figure of Urania (the muse of Astronomy) leaning upon a book.

Yep, saw that, but it doesn't assist with the cryptex.

Solved it.

The only clue that I’ll give is that the final cypher begins with an ‘S’.

Stuck On the 7 letter password also.

Everyone says don't over think it but struggling to see which word would fit and for why.

Also tried Isaacus to no avail...

Think the waiting part is likely related to website performance, seems to be down at the moment.

SupersubWolfy

Perhaps me getting the final answer just brought the site down again 🤣
