Art experts believe Raffael's painting of his Small Madonna was initially given as a wedding gift. We don't know who the lucky couple was, but the Earl of Cowper bought it in 1780 and it is currently secured in the National Gallery of Art in Washington. This 2011 silver proof shows Raffael's madonna in stunning color, and has 12 gemstones embedded into the artist palettes on the other side. This huge silver tribute to Raffael is a work of art in itself, and guess what—it still makes a perfect gift!
