The word “icon” has many meanings. A Greek word for “image,” it could mean any figural image of a notable personage such as a king or queen. In the modern world, celebrities have often become “iconic,” their images becoming mass cultural touchstones for particular moments in time or for the evolution of fashion or film. Such was the case with Marilyn Monroe, the alluring sex symbol and one of the most photographed women in American history, who photographer Bern Stern proclaimed as the “first American goddess.” Her legacy and the idea of “icon” are both commemorated by the 2022 1 oz Tokelau Icon Silver Coin.
Coin Highlights:
Tokelau’s Icon series of collectible coins celebrates figures who have transcended their day and age to become fixtures of mass culture. Marilyn Monroe, known to many as a modern-day Aphrodite, helped to define the modern meaning of the word “iconic” and is still better known decades after her death than most current film stars or world leaders. A luminous star who stole scenes every time she appeared on the silver screen and whose signature mixture of girl-next-door innocence and provocative sensuality powered an unrivaled modeling career, Marilyn’s appeal has proven nigh-immortal.
The 2022 Tokelau Icon Silver Coin celebrates her unique legacy with innovative design and a brilliant proof-like finish, sure to be in demand by discerning collectors and devoted Monroe fans alike. It ships in a secure plastic capsule, with every shipment fully insured by JM Bullion against any possible loss or damage.
The coin’s obverse side features a high-relief effigy of Queen Elizabeth II beautifully offset against a proof-like black background. It’s accompanied by detailed texturing and the inscriptions “TOKELAU” and “5 DOLLARS,” “1 OZ FINE SILVER” and “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” and “2022.”
A complicated abstract texture features in the foreground of the coin’s reverse side, containing the word “ICON” when it’s viewed from the right angle. with a classic portrait of Marilyn Monroe in the background and a decorative silver-on-black texture at the rim.
