Followimg the success of Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I coin, this is a new issue in The Most Expensive Paintings of All Time Series. The special thing about the coin is that it’s a priceless masterpiece of world painting eternalized in pure silver. Struck from 2 oz silver 999, the 57 x 57 mm coin has got the limited mintage of only 600 pieces worldwide. The traditional obverse of the Niue coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Elizabeth II framed by the following inscriptions: the Queen’s name, the face value of the coin, its issuing country and year. With its vibrant colors reflected in high-end digital printing, the coin depicts dr. Gachet, van Gogh’s physician and friend, looking beyond the viewer with a melancholy gaze. His grief-stricken eyes search for something in the distance. Lines of brushstrokes swim around and through the doctor. Along with contrasting colors, this unique texture is a distinctive feature of Van Gogh’s painterly technique. The chef d’oeuvre was sold at an auction for a record price of 82.5 million dollars. The coin comes housed in a specially designed presentation case, which makes it a great gift for all connoiseures of art!
