Scottsdale Mint undertook this phenomenal 10-year project in 2015 issuing multiple releases each year. This wonderful 2019 Scottsdale Mint Biblical Series: Jesus Delivered 2oz Silver Coin release is the third 2019 release, and the 27th overall release in the Biblical Series featuring iconic biblical scenes. Each of these 2 oz Silver coins has a mintage of 1,499 pieces and features a high-relief, rimless design.
Born in Strasbourg, France in 1832, Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré, almost immediately demonstrated advanced giftedness as an artist. By age 15, he was well on his way to a lifelong career as an illustrator, printmaker, and sculptor. His chosen medium was wood engraving, although his paintings brought high acclaim during his life, and continue to this day. Among his most well-known and celebrated works are his 241 wood engravings of many of the key events recorded in the Bible (1866).
The inspiration of Scottsdale Mint's Biblical coins series designs is drawn directly from Gustave Doré's Bible engravings. Scottsdale's creative team did not seek merely to copy Doré's originals to the coins. Rather, remaining true to the originals, they transformed each scene into the new medium of high-relief, antique-finish, silver coinage. Their work is nothing short of breathtaking! This Firtsborn Slain is an amazing example. This illustration sought to show the dire effects of the final hardening of Pharaoh's heart against the Lord God and His people Israel. One by one, each and every Egyptian household succumbed to the judgement, through the slaying of their firstborn, including Pharaoh's. This is illustrated as an Angel of God descending the dark steps of one such household, with the sword of judgement in his hand. Doré's illustration of the theme is magnificent, yet dark and filled with the personal anguish of those who would not believe the word of the Lord.
The theme of the coin is based upon the Biblical account as recorded in the book of Exodus, 12:29-30 (NLT2):
The obverse is common to the series. It displays in high-relief, antiqued finish the Raphael Maklouf likeness of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, with inscriptions at the rim "QUEEN ELIZABETH II . NIUE TWO DOLLARS . 2 oz 999 FINE SILVER . 2019."
The reverse features one of God's angel-agents of judgment striking a firstborn Egyptian child to death. "THE FIRSTBORN SLAIN" is engraved at the top.
Scottsdale is often envied by its peers for some of the most stunning and unique series designs in the private sector. The impeccable skill of its creative staff is clearly displayed with each new coin released. Though other mints may envy, Scottsdale customers anxiously await each release of their favorite series! Their anticipation is never disappointed.
Scottsdale Mint has also established itself in the global market. Providing creative design and minting services to smaller nations around the world, it produces those countries' legal tender bullion coinage.
