2019 Solomon Islands $5 1-oz Silver Leonardo da Vinci 500th Anniversary Proof NGC PF70UC
Silver Masterpiece Honors Iconic Renaissance Maestro
The illegitimate love child of a lawyer and a peasant girl, Leonardo da Vinci grew up without any formal education. Today, he is known simply as one of the greatest artists who ever lived – the poster child of the Renaissance and one of the most popular figures in all of history. Now, on the 500th anniversary of his passing, you can secure this magnificent silver coin that pays tribute to his unquestioned genius.
A masterpiece in its own right, this gleaming coin was struck in an ounce of highly pure 99.9% silver and features a rendition of da Vinci’s famous drawing of the Vitruvian Man, a depiction of a male figure in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart and simultaneously inscribed in a circle. For da Vinci, the workings of the human body were an analogy for the workings of the universe. This dramatic drawing is stored in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy where it is displayed only occasionally.
Now you can view and share this iconic image any time you wish with this fantastic coin. Better yet, it was struck in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning that it was expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. In fact, each One-Ounce Silver Leonardo da Vinci 500th Anniversary Proof in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended!
Don’t wait too long to order this coin; with only 3,000 struck for worldwide release, there will not be many to go around. And when you consider that major museums in the United States, Great Britain and France have all scheduled significant exhibits to mark the 500th anniversary of da Vinci’s death, you can bet many people across the world will be vying for these coins!
