A stunning addition to the revered “Masterpieces of Sculptural Art” series. This coin celebrates the renowned Laocoon Group, a paragon of sculptural art steeped in history and controversy. The Laocoon Group, depicting the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons, Antiphantes and Thymbraeus, entwined in the deadly embrace of sea serpents, has captivated observers since its discovery in Rome in 1506. Displayed prominently in the Vatican, its origins remain a subject of debate among scholars, with theories ranging from its Hellenistic roots to being a Roman copy, or even a potential creation of Michelangelo.
• Stunning Imagery: The coin’s reverse beautifully illustrates the dramatic scene of Laocoön and his sons, with the serpents’ gilded detailing adding a captivating contrast.
• Vatican Museums Inspired: The obverse presents a remarkable backdrop of the Vatican museums, honouring the sculpture’s current home.
• Cameroon Coat of Arms: Featured on the obverse, symbolising the coin’s authenticity and heritage.
Crafted with antique finish technology and selective gilding, this coin is a faithful representation of the iconic sculpture, limited to just 500 pieces worldwide. This rare coin is not only a treasure for collectors but also an investment in artistic history.
Embrace the opportunity to own a piece of sculptural legend. The 2020 Laocoon Group coin is a must-have for connoisseurs of art and history.
