Fine art on silver rounds! Kitco is proud to launch the first 1 oz silver bullion round an incredibly beautiful series inspired by the famed 1900’s artist Alphonse Mucha. Even if you don’t know his name, you’ll probably recognize Mucha’s distinctive Art Nouveau style, which has been reproduced on posters, murals, advertisements, banknotes and even tattoos … for over 100 years!
The first 1 oz silver proof round in this new series of 1 oz .999 fine silver rounds is known as “JOB”. The original artwork was a poster, completed in 1896 as advertising for cigarette paper. The poster became one of the artist’s best known advertisements, and the "Mucha Woman" design soon became a distinctive part of his work.
On this 1 oz proof silver round, the mirrored proof finish is brilliantly highlighted by the delicate use of color. A unique serial number appears on the edge of each individual 1 oz silver round, matching the Certificate of Authenticity included with each silver round. The obverse side of these 1 oz proof silver rounds shows Mucha’s famous JOB image, the woman’s hair swirling and entwined with the smoke from a cigarette, her eyes semi-closed. The reverse side of all the 1 oz silver rounds in the Mucha silver round collection feature the face of the artist, the years he lived, and the purity, metal content, and weight of this 1 oz .999 fine silver round.
A wonderful gift for an art-lover, this beautiful 1 oz colored .999 silver Mucha round would make a great present for a coin collector too. These 1 oz silver rounds celebrate women and their beauty, making them perfect for a Mother’s day present or a gift for Valentine’s Day. A gift of all 6 colorized Mucha silver rounds would be a gorgeous and valuable addition to any coin collection.
Each 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Round, Mucha Collection - JOB is shipped in a protective acrylic capsule, enclosed in a plastic pouch with the accompanying numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Worldwide, only 2,000 of the 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Round, Mucha Collection – JOB are circulated.
