This coin is first layered in pure bright silver. Then the figure is highlighted and brought to life with rich pure 24K gold (this gold work is done by hand). This breathtaking and exclusive work turns this coin into a stunning and true work of art. Each coin is hermetically sealed against wear in a clear, hard acrylic coating. Please note: The gold and silver is much brighter and distinct than what the photograph shows. Each coin comes mounted in a gold filled bezel (frame) on a rope chain and placed in a jewelry box.
