SISTINE MADONNA Raphael Giants of Art 12 Silver Coin Set 5$ Niue 2014

Coin with incomparable beauty and value makes a perfect memento to one of the most representative masterpiece of Italian Renaissance, "The Sistine Madonna", painted by Raphael. Shines as a valuable set of twelve bullion coins of pure .999 silver. The reverse side of each coin shows completely a carefully chosen section of the work. The state-of-the-art, "Restored Colour Application" colour transfer technology makes it possible to authentically reproduce the original intensity – as it must have been over 500 years ago – of da Raphael's colours. At the same time, the technology takes account of the current condition of the painting, producing a unique trueness to life that combines both past and present.
