The Mucha Collection of silver rounds from the Anonymous Mint is a beautiful series featuring some of the greatest works from the peak of Mucha’s career as an artist. Known to many simply as his “beautiful women,” these designs were used primarily in advertisement posters and private collections during their day.
Mucha’s Flower Series was a collection of four posters created by Mucha between 1895 and 1900. These appeared originally in Les Maitres de l’Affiche, a monthly publication from Jules Cheret that featured some of the best posters of the day as selected by Cheret. Rose appeared as the first of these released, arriving as the first of two released in 1898.
The reverse of the 1 oz Proof Colorized Mucha Collection Rose Silver Round includes a popular portrait of the artist himself. Taken from a photo in which he is seated, you’ll see only his face in this portrait with engravings of his name, years of birth and death, and the round’s weight, purity, and metal content.
On the obverse of the 1 oz Proof Colorized Mucha Collection Rose Silver Round is the image of Rose. The image of Rose was initially completed as a water color by Mucha in 1898, with the figure of Rose in the female form meant to personify the rose flower.
Your Mucha Collection Rose Silver Round arrives inside of an air-tight plastic capsule, which provides both the perfect means for protecting your round and displaying it for all to see. Included with each Mucha Silver Round is a Certificate of Authenticity with serial number that matches the edge lettering used on all rounds in the collection.
