This amazing coin was created through a new minting technique that builds the apex of the gold relief image to the extreme heights usually found only in Medallic art, where dimensional images are created through the casting processes of sculpture. Mint's first-ever gold ultra high relief coin - and the world's first such coin using 99.999% pure gold.
