A Fascinating Glimpse Into The Tortured Mind Of Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) has long been admired by art aficionados ever since the Post-Impressionist painter tragically killed himself in 1890 when he was just 37 years old. Among his most famous works were a series focusing on sunflowers in a vase. The five paintings were completed in 1888 and 1889 with three shades of yellow “and nothing else.” In this way, van Gogh was able to demonstrate that it was possible to create an image with numerous variations of a single color without any loss of eloquence. On this beautiful, square-shaped coin we see a reproduction of one of his most famous Sunflowers paintings. Meticulously recreated through digital printing, the image offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the world’s most tortured artists.

Beautiful Frosted Details And Mirror-Like Fields

Issued in 2023 to celebrate van Gogh’s 170th birthday, this 57 mm x 57 mm coin was struck by the prestigious Mint of Poland in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. The design has been further augmented with a decorative “frame” layered in fine gold. Released on behalf of Niue, a small island nation in the South Pacific Ocean, this 2023-dated $2 legal tender coin comes in gorgeous Proof condition. That means this miniature masterpiece was expertly crafted 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.
