Once upon a time, in a land far away.. ΒEmbark on an epic adventure with the Silver Collector’s Edition, “Beauty and the Beast”! Inspired by the classic tale, one of the most beloved stories ever told, the coin depicts the enduring bond between ‘Beauty’ and her beloved ‘Beast’, demonstrating their unwavering loyalty despite outward appearances. This coin goes beyond mere aesthetics, delving into deep themes of faith, love and inner beauty. The Beauty and the Beast coin depicts both sides of the story separated by a mirror. Intricate designs come to life with stunning relief, creating a sense of depth and texture that enchants the viewer. Although on the impeccably gilded side the beast appears ferocious, on the other side, in the mirror, is reflected the fragile and deep believer that love and intimacy warm the heart.
Each curve and line tells the story of the duality of human nature and the transformative power of love. An amazing coin inspired by the famous fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast! It was first published in 1741 (!!!!!) and was written by the French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbeau de Villeneuve. Her long story was condensed, rewritten and republished in 1756 by Jean-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, which ended up being the most widely used version of the tale. Some of the earliest stories that were influenced were Lucius Apuleius’ Cupid and Psyche, as well as Giovanni Francesco Straparola’s The Pig King. According to researchers from the universities of Lisbon and Durham, the roots of the story go back 4,000 years.
