CUPID AND PSYCHE 2 oz two side smartminting coin by CIT and Power Coin

Palau 10$ 2 Oz black proof in CIT smartminting technology
This coin is so beautiful that I think it deserves a separate thread. I like the idea of two high relief sides that, when you flip the coin, can see the same sculpture from a different perspective. What do you think?

Even though I'm big fan of Guy Fawkes, I think this is the best of the newest 3 coins by Powercoin.

I also saw that some coins can get lower price for limited amount of time.

WTF???? Does the market really need a coin depicting some dudes asscheeks as he bends over? Designs have totally jumped the shark when we find ourselves looking at a guy's high relief ass crack and wondering if it is cool. Who designs this stuff????

Goddamit.

This is art my friend
Antonio Canova was an Italian neoclassical sculptor, famous for his marble sculptures. Often regarded as the greatest of the neoclassical artists, his artwork was inspired by the Baroque and the classical revival.

Think you meant he was inspired by the Buttoque...

They could have chosen a better angle rather than focus on creating high relief butt cheeks. Imagine this getting graded and the guy at NGC staring at the butt to make sure it is clean.

Nice song!

Black proof. Nice. If I'm not wrong only Penny Black from Pobjoy Mint has the same technique.

Really liked the coin but the price... But if I had more money I will definitely buy one! PS The ass is not the best part of the coin but it is modern trend I think lol
