This note is listed in Krause’s Standard Catalog of World Paper Money as Pick-153a.
This is a 2003 Dutch 5 Euro silver coin with Prooflike surfaces in an original Royal Dutch Mint descriptive folder.
This is the seventh silver coin issued as part of the popular “Painters of the World” commemorative series, depicting famous artists from history immortalized in silver together with their most famous works enhanced with eye-catching color.
Minted by the Polish Mint under authority of the Government of the Principality of Andorra, this legal-tender Ten Diners proof silver crown was minted in 2008 from 28.28 grams of .925 fine silver. Each coin is encapsulated and accompanied by an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
The reverse design of this unique tribute coin features a striking portrait of Renoir styled from one of the few photographic portraits he sat for. Behind the portrait is a full-color reproduction of one of Renoir’s famous portraits, Actress Jeanne Samary. At the top of the coin are the years of Renoir’s life, with his full name at the bottom. The obverse shows another famous painting, Girls at the Piano (1892), also in striking color but with the central figures struck from silver.
Antigua – Admiral’s House & Trafalgar Falls – $10 – 2003 – Pick 42a – Crisp Uncirculated
Queen Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee year was obviously a big deal for all the mints associated with the United Kingdom. This uncirculated Crown is but one of a number that were minted in 1977 which we offer on our site and would make a good addition to any world coins collection.
