Niue – 2024- 2 Dollars – Salvador Dali Melting Clock 1.5oz silver GILDED

Description

To commemorate the 120th anniversary of Salvador Dalí’s birth, this extraordinary 1.5 oz silver coin from Niue (2024) reimagines one of the most iconic artworks of all time—The Persistence of Memory—in an innovative, world-first numismatic form. Minted in pure .999 silver with an antique finish, the coin is uniquely waved and shaped to simulate the visual melting of Dalí’s surreal clocks. Inspired directly by his visionary art, the distorted edges and fluid design create the illusion that the coin itself is melting—a tribute to Dalí’s fascination with the fluidity of time and reality. Struck using cutting-edge technology and limited to a very exclusive mintage, this collector’s piece captures the spirit of surrealism like never before. It’s more than just a coin—it’s a sculptural homage to creative rebellion, ideal for both art connoisseurs and collectors of avant-garde numismatics.

Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his eccentric genius and dreamlike visual style. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí created some of the 20th century’s most iconic artworks, blending reality with fantasy and subconscious imagery. His masterpiece The Persistence of Memory, featuring melting clocks, reflects his obsession with time, space, and irrationality. Dalí’s legacy lives on as a symbol of boundless imagination and artistic innovation.
