The Design
Raphael Maklouf’s design of the former Queen Elizabeth II is the image imprinted in the obverse.
Her Majesty’s crowned bust is surrounded by engravings that inform the coin’s legal tender, face value, year of issuance, weight, purity, and metal content through “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE TWO DOLLARS,” “2017”, and “2 OZ 999 FINE SILVER.”
Gustave Duré signed the reverse design. It showcases the moment Jacob wrestles an Angel alone on a riverside during his journey back to Canaan, as described in the Book of Genesis. The coin’s name, “JACOB WRESTLED THE ANGEL,” is engraved on top.
The absence of limiting rims in these coins allows the entire usage of the surface to imprint the reverse design. The antique shadow, allied with the dark luster from the proof finish, emphasizes the aspect of ancientness and highlights the most intricate design details.
The Biblical Series
The Biblical Series debuted in 2015, promising a complete series of 60 two-ounce coins. “Jacob Wrestles the Angel” is the 16th strike of the series and one of those released in 2017, along with “The Wise Men” and “The Death of Abel.” Each reverse side showcases a famous scene described in the Bible and designed by the renowned French artist Gustave Duré.
The Packaging
Each coin is individually packed and shipped in an intriguing box consisting of an antiqued Bible and a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
