This picturesque coin is a part of “The Treasures of the World Painting” series. The given series is dedicated to some of the most famous paintings. In this case, it is “Starry Night” – an outstanding Van Gogh’s masterpiece. “Starry Night” is widely known as Van Gogh's magnum opus. The painting depicts the view outside his sanatorium room window at night. The artist was looking down on a village from an imaginary point of view. It was framed by his newly-discovered motifs: at left a cypress towers skywards, at right a group of olive trees cluster into the cloud, and against the horizon run the undulating waves of the Alpilles. Van Gogh's treatment of his motifs prompts associations with fire, mist and the sea, and the elemental power of the natural scene combines with the intangible cosmic drama of the stars. This painting is really exceptional as Van Gogh painted it not from nature but entirely from his memory. The coin is made from the finest silver. This coin is unique because it combines the craftsmanship of minting and painting art. Furthermore, it has an interesting square shape. It presents the best quality of high-end digital printing and frame-stylized ornaments. “I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.” – as Vincent van Gogh said about this painting.
