Detailed description
Forbidden City - 100 g
A unique gold coin issued by the Solomon Islands State in 2020 in 99.9% gold purity and weighing 100 g in top quality reverse proof is dedicated to China's most famous city - the Forbidden City.
The reverse of the coin depicts a meticulously crafted ceiling of the Imperial Palace in the Forbidden City. The motif is created in four layers of embossing at different depths using an innovative coinage technique that creates a perfect three-dimensional effect. The motif is complemented by the inscription "Forbidden City" and the year of issue "2020".
The Forbidden City (Purple Forbidden City), standing in the centre of Beijing's inner city, is undoubtedly one of the largest and best-preserved palace complexes in the world. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
It was built by the Chinese Emperor Jung-le as his residence. It took more than a million workers 14 years to build the Forbidden City. The complex of buildings was successively occupied by 24 emperors over two dynasties, and only the emperor and his entourage were allowed to occupy the premises, while other mortals were strictly forbidden to enter on pain of death. The city has a rectangular plan and is surrounded by 12.5 m high walls, protecting a collection of many sinias, palaces and temples connected by the alleys and passageways so typical of Eastern culture.
The obverse depicts a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian-Rank Broadley, surrounded by the inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II', 'SOLOMON ISLANDS', the artist's initials 'IRB', a weight of '100g' and a face value of '50 DOLLARS'.
The coin comes in its original gift box along with a numbered certificate of authenticity in an extremely limited mintage of only 49 pieces for the entire world!
