Ghana – 2025 – 5 Cedis – Death & The Maiden 1oz Silver

Description

This 1 oz silver collectible blends classical artistry with gothic symbolism, presenting a haunting interpretation of the enduring “Death and the Maiden” motif—a theme that contemplates the fragile balance between innocence, beauty, and mortality. Crafted from .999 fine silver and finished with rich gold gilding and selective colorization, the coin brings dramatic depth to the contrasting figures of life and death. The design evokes the emotional tension at the heart of the artwork: the purity of the maiden set against the inevitable presence of death, illustrated with meticulous detail and a refined sculptural approach. Its half-round format enhances the theatrical composition, giving the scene a reverent, almost ceremonial stage. The reverse features an intricate gilded skull intertwined with floral and symbolic elements, reinforcing the theme of life’s transience and the coexistence of decay and elegance. Issued by Ghana with a face value of 5 Cedis, the coin measures 50 × 35 mm and is limited to just 499 pieces worldwide. Each piece is presented in a display box with a Certificate of Authenticity, making it a compelling addition for collectors drawn to macabre artistry, classical themes, or finely executed modern numismatics.
