Niue – 2025 – 2 Dollars – Paint (Back to the Pixel series) 2oz silver

Description

Step back into the golden age of early digital design with the first release in the “Back to the Pixel” series: a unique 2 oz .999 fine silver coin issued by Niue in 2025. Shaped like a vintage monitor, this rectangular collectible pays tribute to the charm and limitations of early graphic software. The reverse features a pixelated reinterpretation of Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus,” emerging as if loading on an old computer screen—complete with toolbar, color palette, and nostalgic resolution. A clever nod to the classic “Great Micromosaic” coin, this version revives the artwork in raw, pixel-by-pixel form. The obverse mimics the back of a retro monitor, including detailed vents, ports, and the Niue public seal acting as a mock manufacturer’s logo. With a luxurious proof finish and a limited mintage of only 499 pieces worldwide, this coin comes in an elegant case with a certificate of authenticity—making it a must-have for collectors of both art and tech nostalgia.
