1 oz Silver Mucha Ivy Gold Plated Proof Round

The fifth design in this six-part Alphonse Mucha Round Series features the design known as “Ivy”, captured in .999 fine silver and plated in 24k gold. The original artwork was produced in 1901 for the dancer Lygie, and may have been inspired by her. Echoing the features of the other works in this series, an engraving of a distinctive "Mucha Woman" crafted by Master Sculptor Luigi Badia is featured on the round. Her hair is adorned with ivy, and she is surrounded by a background of stylized ivy, accompanied by motifs of flowers and arrows.

 

The reverse shows a portrait of the world-renowned artist himself, Alphonse Mucha, along with the years of the artist’s life and the purity and weight of each round. The round is available with a limited mintage of just 2,000 rounds worldwide, with a unique serial printed on the Certificate of Authenticity included with each item. This round is exclusive to Kitco and was designed by the Anonymous Mint, and manufactured by the North American Mint.
