This is the second release in the Scottsdale Mint Biblical Series showcasing dramatic scenes from the Bible. This coin has an unusual rimless design which allows the design to fill the entire field of the coin. The coin also features a wonderful, hand-finished antique patina that makes it appear as though it is an aged and treasured family heirloom.
The rim of the coin matches the rest of the coin with it's weathered appearance, and has a laser-engraved serial number that matches the number on the antique-feeling certificate of authenticity.
The obverse has a Raphael Maklouf effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. When Maklouf sculpted the effigy of the Queen used on UK circulating coins from 1985 to 1997 he was accused of sculpting the Queen "flatteringly young". The same comment could be applied today to this coin.
The reverse features an adaptation of Gustav Dore's 1860's engraving by sculptor D'Almeida Novissimo. The high relief features Jesus on a cross with a convicted thief crucified on either side of him. In the foreground we see soldiers mocking him and controlling the crowds. The sky in the background of the field appears dark and stormy.
This coin is the second in a series of six Biblical-themed coins to be released this year. It has a strictly limited mintage of only 1,499, and is sure to sell out quickly.
