The reverse of this Silver coin features a powerful portrait of George Orwell, his face rendered in a strikingly stylized and intense artistic style. His piercing gaze, highlighted in bold tones, reflects his unwavering commitment to truth and justice. On the reverse, also the inscriptions: "LIBERTY" – the American value, and "2024" – the year of issue. The years "1903-1950" mark his life. The obverse of this Silver coin transports us directly into Orwell’s dystopian vision, depicting the infamous omnipresent eye of Big Brother, glowing menacingly over a futuristic metropolis. A lone figure stands beneath it, dwarfed by the cityscape, symbolizing the oppressive control described in 1984. The bold numbers "1984" serve as a stark reminder of Orwell’s prophetic warnings. On the obverse, also the inscriptions: "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" - the issuing country, "1 OZ. FINE SILVER" - the weight of the coin and the fineness of Silver, and "ONE DOLLAR" - the face value.
