Niue – 2022 – 5 Dollars – David Sculpture

Description

Art, whatever it may be, whoever it may be created by, is always surprising and fascinating. It makes us stop and listen, and take a closer look. Therefore, we want to introduce the latest coin from Niue: David’s coin. It is an exclusive piece to honour gifted sculptors and their talent.

Sculpture is one of the most, if not the most, complex branches of art. Many sculptors have discovered exceptional techniques that help to carve the most realistic forms in stone. What matters here is not only inspiration, but also exceptional technique, which turns a simple block of stone into a work of art. Often, this requires not only a lot of time, diligence, and willpower, but also perseverance and sometimes blind success.
In different epochs, sculptors have given mankind exceptional works, some of which became famous around the world. One of them is David, considered to be an example of plastic art.

David’s coin is a silver piece that honours and depicts the moment of birth of the sculpture. Expressive design and high relief technology were used in the minting. It is an excellent gift for a person who appreciates art and sculpture.
