Micropuzzle Treasures: Starry Night 3 oz Silver Coin
Van Gogh’s night sky is a field of roiling energy. Below the exploding stars, the village is a place of quiet order. Connecting earth and sky is the flamelike cypress, a tree traditionally associated with graveyards and mourning. But death was not ominous for van Gogh. “Looking at the stars always makes me dream,” he said, “Why, I ask myself, shouldn’t the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? Just as we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star.”
This coin’s image is broken up like a jigsaw puzzle, complete with multiple pieces not yet in their proper place. There’s no gimmicks here and it’s a clean strike with color added, but nevertheless, an intriguing idea. The choice of Vincent van Gogh’s classic Starry Night is a good one. This is a 3 oz fine silver coin, rimless and benefiting fully from CIT’s proprietary Smartminting techniques, With the mintage capped at just 499 pieces, this is obviously a higher end issue.
