The predecessor coin ‘Vitruvian Man‘ has shown how fascinating the idea of mixing an ancient topic with the modern invention of the x-rays can be. 

With this edition one is travelling back in time even more. Howard Carter would have been happy if he could have x-rayed the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun. (Carter was a British archaeologist, who made one of the richest and most-celebrated discoveries in Egyptology - finding the (1922) largely intact tomb of King Tutankhamen in 1922).

This interesting coin makes it possible and combines some of the best of minting technology and colorization to create a one-of-a-kind piece. 

On the Reverse of the $5 (Five Dollars) Silver Coin is seen the Mummy in ultra-high relief surrounded by Egyptian hieroglyphs.

On the Obverse of the $5 (Five Dollars) Silver Coin is seen the Mummy's colourised x-ray image.

The peripheral inscriptions are - "ELIZABETH II. 5 Dollars. COOK ISLANDS. 2022".

2208) Tiffany Art Metropolis - Rome, the Capital of Italy, Republic of Palau: "Tiffany Art Coin Series": Coin Minted By: B.H. Mayer's Kunstprageanstalt GmbH at their facilities in Munich: Coin Coordinated by Coin Invest Trust (CIT): Year of Coin issue: 2022:

2208) Tiffany Art Metropolis - Rome, the Capital of Italy, Republic of Palau: "Tiffany Art Coin Series": Coin Minted By: B.H. Mayer's Kunstprageanstalt GmbH at their facilities in Munich: Coin Coordinated by Coin Invest Trust (CIT): Year of Coin issue: 2022:

This is the second edition of the successful Tiffany Art Metropolis Coin Series. 

The 2022 release is dedicated to the capital of Italy – Rome. Not many cities can offer such a combination of modern lifestyle and ancient history.

 In one moment one can look at the latest fashion trends at high street, and in the next moment, just around the corner, you are facing a historic sight as a contemporary witness of the Roman Empire.

The Coin:

The Reverse of the $50 (Fifty Dollars) Silver Coin shows Rome from a bird’s-eye view highlighting selected buildings like the Colosseum, Vatican, Pantheon or Trevi Fountain. 

One can easily get lost in the highly detailed huge road network thanks to the enhanced Smartminting® technology used on this coin.

The Obverse of the $50 (Fifty Dollars) Silver Coin pictures one of the most famous bridges of Rome, Ponte Sant’ Angelo. 

This was originally built in 134 AD by Roman Emperor Hadrian to span the Tiber from the city centre to his newly constructed mausoleum (presently the tower Castel Sant’ Angelo).

The Tiffany Art Glass that the Series is known for winds through the city as a representation of the River Tiber. 

The way the green colored glass appears to literally divide the coin in half is a ground-breaking achievement of numismatic technology.
