SNAKE LILITH Lunar Year Silver Proof Coin 5 Won North Korea 2013

The reverse side of the coin features the painting Lilith (1892) by John Collier in 2D True-color-Holography. Holography is a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that when an imaging system (a camera or an eye) is placed in the reconstructed beam, an image of the object will be seen even when the object is no longer present. The image changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way as if the object were still present, thus making the image appear three- dimensional. The coin obverse depicts the Republic of Korea State Coat of Arms, the face value and the weight.
