Road With Cypresses and Stars by Van Gogh Tri-metal coin (2024 Precious Metal Collectors)
Closing in on 30 releases to date, Precious Metal Collector’s range of fine-art coins using their innovative multi-metal process, remains as popular as ever. For 2024, the producer moved to a Tri-Metal Max process, with a layer of 2.5oz of fine silver sitting over a central core of 750g of zinc, which sits atop a layer of 120g of copper. The end result is a relatively affordable coin of immense size and thickness.
It also imparts each coin with plenty of high-relief, which when you’re dealing with Vincent van Gogh’s unique style, is a textural bonus. This is the third in the trimetallic Van Gogh range, and features his 1890 creation, ‘Country Road in Provence by Night’, painted during his voluntary stay at Saint Paul-de-Mausole asylum. It’s a beautiful nocturnal scene, drawing on the many themes he considered staples of his style.
The obverse is a pretty greyscale village scene, which we’ll assume is an area that Van Gogh either lived or worked in, somewhere in France. It’s a terrific release, and we maintain our view that lovers of fine art will find no better coin series on the market today. They come beautifully boxed with a certificate of authenticity, and this issue should be available to order now. We’ve added it to our comprehensive Coin Series Profile of the range.
