World's Greatest Artists Gustav Klimt 2 Oz 10 Cedis Silver Coin Ghana 2020

The golden master of the Vienna Secession

Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) is the most famous painter of the Vienna Secession and the creator of “The Kiss”. In his “golden phase” he combined painting with real gold leaf, creating works that still dazzle with their richness and sensuality. This coin from the World's Greatest Artists series pairs a portrait of the master with one of his most distinctive motifs.

Coin design

On the left of the reverse is Gustav Klimt's profile with his thick beard, struck in high relief with an antique finish. GUSTAV KLIMT runs along the rim, with the WGA series logo at the bottom.

On the right, in full colour, is Hygieia – the goddess of health from “Medicine”, the painting Klimt created for the University of Vienna. The figure in a red and gold robe holds a cup, while a golden snake – the symbol of medicine – coils around her arm. The original painting was destroyed by fire in 1945, which makes its reproductions all the more special.

The obverse shows Queen Elizabeth II against a golden spiral – the symbol of the divine proportion – with REPUBLIC OF GHANA, the year 2020, 2 oz, Ag 999 and the face value 10 CEDIS.

Packaging

The coin comes in an elegant box featuring Hygieia and the words World's Greatest Artists, together with a certificate of authenticity.

Gift idea

For a lover of painting and Art Nouveau, a collector of art coins, or a doctor, pharmacist or nurse – Hygieia is, after all, the patron of health. An elegant gift for an anniversary, a promotion or graduation from medical school.
