Belarus – Alice in Wonderland – 20 Roubles – 2007 – Brilliant Uncirculated Silver Crown – COA
When ambitious film-maker Carl Denham hears about an island untouched by time, a place thought only to exist in myth, he is captivated by the story and glimpses his chance at fame. Abandoning all caution, he embarks on a dramatic film project that is doomed to end in tragedy. In his search for a star, Denham discovers Ann Darrow, a beautiful but out-of-work actress who is struggling to survive in Depression-era New York. Playwright Jack Driscoll completes the trio, oblivious to the role he will ultimately play in this wild adventure and the unlikely hero he will become. When they arrive at the mysterious Skull Island, the explorers are faced with unimaginable dangers when they discover that Kong is real. The ferocious 25-foot gorilla shows his only weakness when he falls for the golden-haired Ann, and a dramatic adventure follows as they must fight to escape with their lives. Capture the legendary image of Kong forever with these three Brilliant Uncirculated coins, a true treasure in New Zealand film history. When King Kong arrived on screens in 1933, the tale of the gigantic gorilla was hailed as one of the first great special effects science fiction adventure epics. The gorilla was brought to life through the art of stop motion photography, an effect that was groundbreaking for its time. Tiny models were adjusted a mere fraction between each frame of film and the resulting animation was terrifying to its 1930’s audience and to the future generation of fans that followed. In 2005, it is the wizardry of computer animation that brings Kong to life once more. Behind the scenes the movements of actor Andy Serkis, who studied gorillas in Africa in preparation for his role, were transformed into the fearsome figure of Kong by the team at Weta Digital. The resulting 25-foot beast marks a breathtaking new era in Kong’s reign over movie screens.
