Munch’s painting, The Scream, is renowned for its expression of intense anxiety and existential dread. Munch intended it to symbolize the universal anxiety of modern humanity, capturing the feeling of anguish and despair. The identity of the girl depicted in Vermeer’s painting is unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the artwork. She is often referred to as the “Mona Lisa of the North.” Vermeer was a master of light and shadow, and this painting showcases his meticulous technique known as “sfumato,” which creates a soft, blurred effect, particularly evident in the girl’s face and the pearl earring. On the obverse of 2024 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Girl with a Pearl Earring – The Scream Coin is the Samoan coat of arms. The national seal of Samoa boasts a crest that is often compared to that of the United Nations in its shape and basic visuals. It includes a Christian cross above the shield, stylized waves and a palm tree on the shield, and the Southern Cross constellation. The reverse of 2024 Proof Colorized Samoa Girl with a Pearl Earring – The Scream Coin features the blended, colorized image of the two paintings. The design blends the visuals of Munch’s work with the young girls and the colors of Vermeer’s work. These 2024 1 oz Proof Colorized Samoa Silver Girl with a Pearl Earring – The Scream Coins come in presentation case.
