Of all the sets of thematic coins I have had the pleasure of handling over the years, this is one of my all-time favorites. Using an exclusive cold-enameled process on an Italian Fifty Lire coin, a European mint has replicated ten of Michelangelo’s famous Sistine Chapel ceiling frescos and arranged them in a beautiful presentation case. The frescos depicted are: The Creation of Adam, Original Sin, the Sacrifice of Noah, the Drunkenness of Noah, The Great Flood, Prophet Jeremiah, Prophet Ezekiel, Prophet Joel, Prophet Isaiah and the Delphic Sybil.
