2022 Niue $5 2-oz Silver Alchemist High Relief Coin w/3D Fluorescent Insert & Antique Finish
Enter The Alchemist’s World Of Weird Medieval Science
The ancient art of Alchemy gets a revival on this coin, bringing to light the centuries-old mixture of science, philosophy, and mysticism. Who were these alchemists? Well, besides being what some consider to be forerunners of modern chemistry, they were people who locked themselves away in their workshops behind iron-bolted wooden doors while they mixed various chemicals in an effort to change lead into gold and find potions that held the secret of eternal life. While that may sound like the first line on a résumé for applying for the local “Mad Doctor” job opening, they did introduce basic laboratory techniques, theories, and terms—many of which are still used today!
Fascinating Coin Embodies Eerie Atmosphere
When you get your first look at this coin, however, you won’t care about the science; you’ll be more interested in the eerie atmosphere embodied by this fascinating coin. Struck by the prestigious Mint of Poland in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this massive 50 mm coin features a disheveled old alchemist, his goggles pushed back on his forehead, as he examines his latest chemical concoction. The murky confines of his workshop take on even more creepy appearance thanks to a thick antique finish that fills every nook and crevice of the design with ominous portent. Typically, an antique finish like this is applied by hand, meaning that no two coins in the series is exactly alike!
What’s more, the uncanny design is magnified thanks to the addition of incredible High Relief detail that makes the image of the alchemist rise off the surface of the coin. In addition, the design will grab your attention both day and night thanks to the addition of a three-dimensional, glow-in-the-dark insert. The old alchemist depicted on this coin is shown greedily examining a vial. That vial is actually the 3D insert. It along with the coin’s inscription, “ALCHEMIST,” glows with a rich fluorescent green hue when the lights are off giving the coin an otherworldly look seen only rarely in the world of numismatics.
