Just as most paintings are much smaller than Rembrandt's Night Watch, a colossal 12 by 14 feet, most coins are much smaller than this massive $20 Silver Proof commemorating the painting. It captures the Dutch Master's original in full color, with a frame of 17 Swarovski crystals. The painting was completed in 1642, and only 1642 of these Proofs were struck.
