DISILLUSION Eternal Sculptures II 3 Oz Silver Coin 20$ Palau 2023

Eternal Sculptures II

Disillusion is a beautiful 3 Oz Silver coin with a diameter of 50 mm. It has a Smartminting High Relief and features Black Proof Quality.

The coin is the second issue in the “Eternal Sculptures II” series (if you are curious about how it differs from "Eternal Sculptures I", check out the blog post on “Moses”).

The reverse of the coin is inspired by “Disillusion”, crafted by Italian artist Francesco Queirolo.

Disillusion

Disillusion, also known as "The Release from Deception," features a scene of an angel releasing a man from a net. This is a symbolic representation; the net represents sin, implying that the man is entangled in iniquity, but an angel frees him.

No matter how the monument is interpreted, it is universally acknowledged as a masterpiece, notably for the intricately carved net that has mesmerized onlookers for decades.

Reverse

As previously mentioned, the reverse of the coin is inspired by “Disillusion”.

Minting the statue and the detailed net on this coin was a real challenge and took a lot of effort, but the outcome is absolutely astonishing!

Thanks to Smartminting Technology, the entire relief is stunning and each single knot of the net is extremely detailed.

The coin has Black Proof Quality, while the statue has a metallic marble effect and color application in some parts to produce shades and add additional depth to the design.

A decorative frame in high relief with a characteristic Renaissance design encircles the statue, which in some parts is atop the frame. Thanks to this feature, the statue appears to be moving, leaving the frame and becoming real and animated.

Along with the name of the coin and the name of the series, the design also features the year of issuance in Roman numerals at the bottom.

Obverse

The obverse side of all coins in this series depicts a detail of the reverse. For “Disillusion”, we chose the detail of the man’s hand tangled in the net. This feature was created using Smartminting Ultra High Relief, giving the coin a beautiful Relief on both the obverse and reverse.

The coin comes in a Power Coin Luxury case and has a face value of $20. It is legal tender in Niue and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
