The Mint says about this coin:

Will Venice disappear without trace like Pompeii and legendary Atlantis? Will the tremendous forces of nature take over the impressive architecture of the city? There are numerous indications that Venice will soon disappear in the sea depths. The city is threatened not only by rising sea levels, but also by gradual landslides caused by the movement of tectonic plates. The Mint of Poland, concerned about the future of Venice and inspired by its fragile beauty, commemorated its distinctive landmarks in fine gold and silver.   great gift idea for all art lovers and admirers of beautiful Venice! commemorative and artistic value – interesting design alluding to Venetian Gothic Venice landmarks shown through the prism of paintings by Canaletto and Francesco Guardi minted in .999 sterling silver and .999.9 sterling gold limited mintage   The impressive architecture of the city has always been a source of inspiration for the great Italian painters.
