When Art Meets Precious Metals

I don't normally post about coins I don't have, but this is one of the few that caught my eye. I get Amazon gift cards from work sometimes, and since I don't need more pointless knicknacks, gadgets, or electronics, I look for interesting silver coins and bars I can buy.

This particular coin was made in 2024, so it's been out a little while. I'm not sure how I haven't come across it until now, but I'm glad I did.

This is minted by the island nation of Fiji. It's a proof coin, and it features two iconic paintings in a truly unique artistic "mashup": Leonardo da Dinvi's "The Mona Lisa", and Vincent van Gogh's "The Starry Night."

The mintage is limited to 5000 pieces. Amazon is already expensive compared to other online dealers, but considering this is money I'm not spending out of my own pocket, I'll gladly pay the $64.14 they want for it to add it to my collection. I'll probably get another gift card here in a couple of weeks, so I'll just have to be patient until then.

What's a piece you've come across recently that you just had to have, and what makes it so appealing to you?

I may like it better if Mona Lisa was a little more... Gothic.
