DESCRIPTION
The MINT XXI Art Gallery collection honors an iconic portrait with a coin featuring Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, one of the most iconic portraits of the Dutch Golden Age. Often called the “Mona Lisa of the North,” the painting captures a fleeting glance and the luminous beauty of a single pearl, transforming simplicity into timeless elegance.
Vermeer’s mastery of light and intimacy turns this work into an enduring symbol of mystery and grace.
Struck in 1 oz of .999 fine silver with proof quality, the coin faithfully reproduces the masterpiece through high-dimension digital printing. Presented in an elegant acrylic display box and limited to 1000 pieces, it continues the Art Gallery series — a silver journey through the world’s greatest art.
