Silver Coin Tiffany Art Metropolis - London 3 Oz 2023 Proof

Tiffany Art Metropolis - London - Smartminting

The unique silver coin with glass insert, issued by the State of Palau for 2023, weighing 3 Oz of the purest 99.9% silver, in ultra-high relief and Proof, is part of the Tiffany Art Metropolis series, which combines artistic techniques to offer a bird's eye view of major cities. The third coin in the series features the capital of the UK, London.

Using Smartminting® technology, the reverse of the coin features a bird's eye view of the street network highlighting major landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the British Museum, the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral and the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain. There are also typical London symbols such as the figure of the Royal Guards in their unique uniform and bearskin cap, and the red double-decker bus. The blue Tiffany glass liner runs through the centre of the city and marks the course of the River Thames. The name of the series and the year of issue "METROPOLIS", "TIFFANY ART 2023" are shown in two lines at the bottom of the coin.

The obverse of the coin depicts one of the world's most famous bridges, Tower Bridge, spanning the River Thames. This unique drawbridge consists of two towers and was built in 1894. It stands close to the Tower of London and connects the City of London to the borough of Tower Hamlets, which borders Southwark. The glass Tiffany inset continues in the clear water of the Thames and the national emblem of the Republic of Palau is placed on the left with the inscription "REPUBLIC OF PALAU" and the denomination "$20". Above the bridge is a stylized inscription "London I love you".

The coin comes in a stylish presentation frame with a certificate of authenticity, limited to 999 pieces for the whole world!

Smartminting® is a revolutionary technology in modern numismatics. The greatest advantage is the dramatic and unsurpassed relief heights 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. 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 highest quality Proof and coloured coins, of course the Antique Standard finish remains.
