2022 2 oz The Dead Christ Silver Coin - Biblical Series

2022 2 oz The Dead Christ Antique Proof Silver Coin - Biblical Series

Those who find silver coins a sensible investment option in a diversified portfolio may also find these 2022 2 oz Silver Coins an exciting collectible.

The Biblical Series from Scottsdale Mint has struck 44 coins since its first release in 2015. Each edition showcases famous scenes from the scriptures inspired by the renowned French artist Gustave Duré, who engraved significant biblical moments in wood.

This 44th strike has as a motif “The Dead Christ” from the Book of Matthew 27:32-56, beautifully highlighted by the antique proof finish applied to the piece.

Coin Highlights

• Contains 2 oz of .999 fine silver with an antique-proof finish;
• Limited Edition of 1,4999 units;
• Face value of $2, guaranteed by the Niue Government;
• The obverse features a crowned Queen Elizabeth II portrayed by Raphael Maklouf;
• The reverse depicts the “The Dead Christ” image.

The Design

The obverse features an elegant Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy through the eyes of Raphael Maklouf. Surrounding Her Majesty’s bust, the inscriptions list the coin's information. They read: “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” “NIUE TWO DOLLARS,” “2022”, and “2 OZ 999 FINE SILVER.”

The biblical scene that names the series is on the reverse. This verse has no inscription besides “THE DEAD CHRIST” and the image itself.

The scene reflects the moment right after Joseph of Arimathea has taken Jesus’s body from the cross, accompanied by Mother Mary and other Christians who mourned His death.

The absence of limiting rims in these coins allows entire usage of the surface. The proof finish provides the image with a 3-D effect, making details easily visible, and the antique shadows give an archaic look to the coin.

The Biblical Series

The Biblical Series debuted in 2015, promising a complete series of 60 two-ounce coins. The first strike of 2022 brought the 43rd coin with the “Cleansing The Temple” Design. Now, the 44th coin has “The Dead Christ” as a motif. Renowned French artist, Gustave Duré, is the original author of the designs inspired by famous scenes described in the Bible.

The Packaging

Each coin is individually packaged and shipped in a box shaped like an antiqued Bible. Accompanying the box is a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) unique to the coin.
