From A Place Of Madness Comes A Scene Of Tranquility

The tortured genius of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh has long been admired by art aficionados ever since the Post-Impressionist painter tragically killed himself when he was just 37 years old. His uncanny skills were on full display on the masterpiece The Siesta painted between 1889 and 1890 when the artist was interned in a mental asylum in Saint-Rémy de Provence.

The Restorative Power Of Taking A Break

That oil-on-canvas painting depicts tree branches with beautiful white flowers against a blue sky. It captures a serene moment of respite, reflecting van Gogh’s fascination with the interplay of light and color while emphasizing the tranquil, restorative power of taking a break from daily toil. It also serves as the theme for the latest release in the Treasures of the World Painting series. Struck by the prestigious Mint of Poland in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the famous painting was recreated on this 40 mm x 40 mm coin through digital printing. The design has been further augmented with a decorative “frame” layered in fine gold.

Beautiful Frosted Details And Mirror-Like Fields

Released on behalf of Niue, a small island nation in the South Pacific Ocean, this 2023-dated $1 legal tender coin comes in gorgeous Proof condition. That means this miniature masterpiece was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Each will also come beautifully housed in its original mint packaging along with a Certificate of Authenticity.
