2016 Niue 1 oz Proof Silver Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute Coin

Bullion Exchanges is thrilled to offer the 2016 Niue 1 oz Proof Silver Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute Coin, a numismatic tribute to the exquisite architecture of Venice. This coin pays homage to a splendid painting by the esteemed Italian artist, Canaletto. His depiction of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, an iconic structure standing proudly at the mouth of the Grand Canal, is masterfully recreated on this coin. Canaletto's artwork commemorates the Baroque basilica, adorned with magnificent sculptures, built to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary following the city's salvation from the bubonic plague in 1630. This masterpiece's reproduction is vividly reflected on the coin using advanced digital printing.

Furthermore, the coin's reverse features a high-relief representation of the Bucentaur, the legendary state barge of the Venetian doges. Annually, on Ascension Day, this barge would partake in a ceremonial voyage, symbolizing Venice's marital bond with the Adriatic Sea.
