The second issue in the Reconstruction series, this is again an exceptionally surreal animal portrait in ultra-high relief. The Gorilla’s figure is depicted soaring through multiple levels of silver segments, a feat made possible by advanced smartminting® technology. This innovative technique involves breaking down boundaries to create a new and uniquely shaped work of art that extends beyond the edge of the coin.
Design elements incorporating sophisticated ethnic patterns contribute to a thematic link to the origins of this magnificent animal.
It is a tribute to the majestic creatures of the African wilderness, in particular the Gorilla, often referred to as the “Guardian of the Jungle”.
