Niue – 2025 – 1 Dollar – Lunch atop a Skyscraper 1oz silver

Description

“Lunch Atop a Skyscraper” is an iconic black-and-white photograph taken in 1932 during the construction of the RCA Building (now 30 Rockefeller Plaza) in New York City. It famously depicts eleven construction workers casually eating lunch on a steel beam suspended 850 feet above Manhattan, embodying the daring spirit and resilience of industrial workers during the Great Depression. Though the photographer’s identity remains debated—often attributed to Charles C. Ebbets—the image’s cultural impact is timeless. It highlights the tension between human vulnerability and technological progress, celebrating both danger and determination. This historic moment is now honored with a stunning rectangular collectible coin struck from 31.1 g of pure silver (Ag 999) and measuring 47 mm x 30 mm. Minted in proof-like quality with advanced pad printing technology, the coin vividly recreates the photograph’s bold energy. Issued by Niue in 2025 with a face value of 1 Dollar, it is limited to just 300 pieces worldwide. A perfect blend of history and craftsmanship, this coin is ideal for collectors, history lovers, and anyone inspired by the ambition of those who built the modern skyline.
