Gorgeous Art Nouveau meets fine silver! Kitco is proud to carry the stunning silver collection inspired by the famous early 20th century artist Alphonse Mucha. This 1 oz proof colorized silver bullion round, Champagne, is the fourth round in a series of six. Even those who don’t recognize the Mucha name will likely be familiar with this artist’s distinctive work. For more than 100 years, Alphonse Mucha’s Art Nouveau has been admired and reproduced on murals, posters, dinnerware, advertisements, tattoos and even wallpaper.
The “Champagne” design is the fourth in the series of 1 oz .999 fine silver rounds. The original artwork was completed in 1899, for the famous champagne producer Moet Chandon in France. Like the other works in this series, the design features a beautiful "Mucha Woman" in a flowing pink dress. Her hair is adorned with grape leaves, she holds a bunch of champagne grapes in her arms, and she is surrounded by a stylized background of grapevines and flowers.
Each individual Champagne silver round is 1 oz of pure bullion silver. Each has a unique serial number, stamped into the rim of the round. The serial number is matched with a Certificate of Authenticity. The subtle use of texture and color on the fine silver round is highlighted by the mirrored proof finish. On the obverse, Mucha’s 1899 Champagne image is represented, while on the reverse side of all the 1 oz silver rounds in the Mucha silver round collection, the artist himself if featured. The silver round is also marked with the 1 oz weight of the fine silver, the metal content and purity of the silver, and the years of the artist’s life.
