Contains 2 oz of .999 fine Silver.
The first release for 2020 of Scottsdale's Biblical Series.
Struck in an incredibly stunning rimless, high-relief antique finish.
Each 2 oz coin is packaged in a gift box patterned after a Bible.
Includes a Certificate of Authenticity printed on antiqued-style paper with the Biblical text (Gospel of John 6:19-20).
Edge: Laser-etched serial number, from 1 to 1499, which matches the serial number found on the included certificate of authenticity.
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 for 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 onto 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 Jesus Walking on the Sea is an amazing example.
The obverse is common to the series. It displays in a 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 . 2020."
The reverse features, also in a high-relief antiqued finish, a depiction of the illustration by Gustave Doré, Jesus Walking on the Sea (Plate 216). This 2020 2 oz Silver Biblical Series Jesus Walking on the Sea coin is a faithful reproduction produced by the team of artisans and technicians directed by master sculptor D'Almeida Novissimo. They have once again captured not only the detail of the original Doré, but the very soul of the artist's work.
The theme of the coin is based upon the Biblical account as recorded in the Gospel of John 6:19-20 (NCV):
"That evening Jesus' followers went down to Lake Galilee. It was dark now, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The followers got into a boat and started across the lake to Capernaum. By now a strong wind was blowing, and the waves on the lake were getting bigger. When they had rowed the boat about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the Sea, coming toward the boat. The followers were afraid, but Jesus said to them, 'It is I. Do not be afraid.'"
