In 2021, the sovereign mints of France and Spain collaborated on the release of a two-coin set celebrating the iconic artist, Salvador Dali. Dalí was a Spanish surrealist master whose eccentric personality and theatrical mustache became almost as famous as his groundbreaking artwork. Born in Figueres, Spain in 1904, he developed a distinctive style characterized by meticulous draftsmanship and dreamlike imagery that explored themes of time, mortality, and the subconscious mind, fundamentally reshaping the art world’s understanding of surrealism in the 20th century. Right now, 2021 Proof French and Spanish Silver Twin Collection Salvador Dali 2-Coin Sets are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Set Highlights:
Each 2021 Proof French and Spanish Silver Twin Collection Salvador Dali 2-Coin Set offered here comes with two rectangular silver coins, each one housed in its own capsule. The coins are packaged together in a display box, with colorized designs on the obverse of each coin. The coins were issued by the French Mint and the Royal Spanish Mint, with face values in Euros issued by the respective mints.
This set includes coins with unique designs chosen by the respective mints. On the obverse of the French coin in the 2021 Proof Twin Collection Salvador Dali Coin Set, you will find a colorized replication of his work of art known as The Persistence of Memory. Created in 1931, it stands as perhaps Dalí’s most recognizable masterpiece, featuring the now-iconic melting clocks draped over a barren landscape. The small canvas, which hangs in New York’s Museum of Modern Art, presents a dreamscape where rigid timepieces become soft and pliable like cheese in the sun, challenging viewers’ perceptions of time and reality against a backdrop that resembles the cliffs of Dalí’s native Catalonia. The reverse includes the hallmarks of the coin and a depiction of the Rodin Museum.
The obverse of the Spanish coin in this 2021 Twin Collection Salvador Dali Coin Set replicates his work of art entitled The Temptation of Saint Anthony. Created in 1946, it depicts the dramatic religious scene of Saint Anthony being assailed by mysterious temptations in the desert, reimagined through Dalí’s surrealist lens. The painting shows a nude figure carrying a cross while being confronted by a procession of fantastical elephants with impossibly long, spindly legs carrying various symbols of worldly temptation on their backs, all set against a stark desert landscape with looming clouds. On the reverse, the coin offers a portrait of Dali along with the hallmarks of the coin.
