Product Overview

This great coin featuring „Laokoon Group” is one of the most beautiful and the most controversial masterpieces of the sculpture art of all time. The coin minted in silver, decorated with antique finish technology on both sides, and with selective gilding on the reverse reflects every detail of the piece faithfully.

  • Antiqued Pure Silver Coin with Selective Gold Gilding
  • Limited mintage 500 pcs.
  •  High relief 
  • 2 oz of the finest silver and 45 mm diameter

According to some researchers, the sculpture was made in the Hellenistic period, while according to others, the piece we know is only its Roman copy. There is also a hypothesis that “Laocoon Group” is a forgery by Michael Angelo.

The statue of Laocoön and His Sons, also called the Laocoön Group, has been one of the most famous ancient sculptures ever since it was excavated in Rome in 1506 and placed on public display in the Vatican, where it remains. It is very likely the same statue praised in the highest terms by the main Roman writer on art, Pliny the Elder. The figures are near life-size and the group is a little over 2 m in height, showing the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus being attacked by sea serpents.
