Detailed description
Leaning Tower of Pisa - Ultra High Relief 1 Oz
An exclusive gold coin issued by the State of Cook Islands for 2022, struck in the finest 99.99% pure gold and weighing 1 Oz (31.1g) in Ultra High Relief on both sides of the coin with an Antique Standard finish, celebrating the 650th anniversary of one of the most photographed monuments in the world: The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The reverse of the coin features an unusual three-dimensional depiction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa from the site where visitors create iconic photographs. The unique tilt of the bell tower is enhanced by the flat lower edge of the coin, which marks the plane of the earth. Using Smartminting technology, ultra-high relief is achieved, refined in remarkable detail. The individual Romanesque arches rise sculpturally around the entire tower. The decorative portholes in the tower are outlined against the background of the coin with the anniversary mark "650 YEARS". The rim of the coin states the name of the coin "LEANING TOWER OF PISA" and the years "1372 - 2022".
The obverse of the coin, using Smartminting technology in ultra-high relief, depicts the same precise treatment of the Leaning Tower of Pisa from a rear view to the adjacent Cathedral of the Assumption, from which part of the transept is visible on the right. Included is a coin portrait of Elizabeth II with the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II", "COOK ISLANDS" and the face value "250 DOLLARS".
The coin is supplied in a presentation frame with a certificate of authenticity, in a limited edition of only 199 pieces for the whole world!
Smartminting® is a revolutionary technology in the field of modern numismatics. The greatest advantage is the dramatic and unsurpassed heights of relief combined with intricate detail. High and ultra-high relief is possible on both sides of the coin, and the top of the relief can be placed as close to the edge as possible. However, the conventional embossing process not only requires more material (higher weight), but more importantly, the highest point must be concentrated in the center of the coin, which does not reach the same height as with Smartminting® technology. Another bonus of Smartminting® technology is the possibility of minting even in the highest Proof quality for coloured coins and, of course, the Antique Standard finish remains.
