MMXXI Palau 20$ Ecstasy of Saint Teresa PR70DCAM { PCGS-5 }. This super-sized flawless silver gem pays tribute to Eternal Structures including two on Ron Guth’s list of 100 Greatest Women on coins. Rendered in black proof using SmartMinting technology on both sides yields high-relief realistic marble-effects for the featured statues. On the reverse The Rape of Proserpina appears in the five-o'clock position, Venus de Milo is in the two-o’clock position and Leda and her Swan is in the seven-o’clock spot detail tales from Greek and Roman mythology. From the Greeks, Leda is a tale of a young maiden either raped or seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan, and the Roman goddess Venus presents the ideal image of woman in beauty and love. Proserpina is the Romanized name for Persephone, and this Bernini masterpiece shows her abduction to the underworld by Pluto. Just 499 pieces of this “three-fer” were struck.
