2016 Niue 1 oz Proof Silver Piazza San Marco Guardi Coin

Bullion Exchanges is thrilled to present the 2016 Niue 1 oz Proof Silver Piazza San Marco Guardi Coin, a stunning numismatic piece that captures the essence of Venice's timeless beauty. The coin brilliantly showcases a masterpiece by the renowned Italian painter, Francesco Guardi. His exquisite depiction of St Mark’s Square, with its medieval basilica, bell tower, arcades of the Procuratie Vecchie, and the Procuratie Nuove, along with bustling stalls and cafés, paints a lively portrait of 18th-century Venice.

With meticulous attention to detail, Guardi encapsulates the essence of the era, including the elegant attire of Venice's inhabitants—ladies in ornate dresses and men in scarlet capes. This vibrant scene is vividly recreated on the coin's surface using advanced digital printing techniques. To further complement Guardi's artwork, the right-hand side of the reverse features St Mark’s winged lion in high relief, a symbol derived from one of the two columns dedicated to Venice's patrons—St. Mark and St. Theodore.

Venice's architectural grandeur and its rich tapestry of history have been a muse for countless artists. This coin serves as both a celebration of Guardi's contribution to art and a tribute to Venice's enduring allure. With a strict mintage limit of 777 pieces, this numismatic treasure is a must-have for collectors.
