This marvelous silver coin is dedicated to the most beautiful works by Vincent Van Gogh during his lifetime. A new technique called 'Bi-Metal Rotation' was used, which makes it possible to mechanically rotate all the images of the paintings. It comes in a capsule, together with a Certificate of Authenticity. Limited edition of only 199 pieces worldwide.
The coin's reverse shows a image of Vincent Van Gogh with colour palette in his hand while working on his wonderful paintings. The collectible is fully interactive to display four of his most famous works like a carousel. The middle of this collectible can be rotated to display a different painting as desired. Among the included pieces is "The Starry Night", which dates to a time when Van Gogh was in an asylum for his mental health. Arguably his most famous work, this rendering of the piece is accurate in every way and the brush strokes and colors are represented with perfect fidelity. The next piece is the "Wheat Field with Cypresses" which dates to 1889. The style of this piece is impasto, and it is clearly painted during the summer. "The Bedroom in Arles" was painted in the middle of van Gogh's career, and it represents the artist's own room in Arles during his time in this city. He later said that this was the best painting during his illness. The last work of art is the "Irises" piece, which was also painted during van Gogh's stay in the asylum. This fully interactive rotational mechanism is made possible by the new minting technique called "Bi-Metal Rotation", which features a top layer of 5 oz 999 Fine Silver, combined with two layers of copper bases totaling 38 Oz, where the middle piece is rotatable. The obverse features a portait of Vincent Van Gogh and the Coat of Arms of Chad with the inscription "Vincent Van Gogh MASTERPIECES" – the name of the coin. The design also incorporates the inscriptions: "2023" - the year of issue, "REPUBLIQUE DU TCHAD" – the country of issue and "25000 FRANCS CFA" – the face value.
