Product description

Ounce silver coin with the motif of a bee is an artistic and technical unique piece.

Honey bees are an extremely useful insect species and their role in the planet's ecosystem is irreplaceable. It's certainly not just about honey production, which these industrious creatures have embedded right in their name. Much more important is their ability to pollinate green vegetation - agricultural crops and wild plants. Albert Einstein once said that when bees become extinct, mankind will outlive them by just four years. Without pollination, there will be no crops, and animals and people will starve. Yet we take the bees for granted and do not take into account that they are disappearing from the world. Climate change, intensive farming, the use of chemicals, as well as bacteria, mites and alien beetles are all contributing to their decline.

The reverse side of the commemorative coin presents a realistic representation of a bee and an enlarged pollen grain. Two more detailed depictions of insect workers leaving the bee hive can be found on the obverse side. The dominant motifs of the relief are gilded for contrasting effect. The surrounding coin area is then dotted with dozens of tiny bees and hexagons, evoking honeycombs. All this is reworked in high relief. As the coin was issued with foreign license by the State of Liberia, it still bears the inscription REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA and the nominal value of 20 DOLLARS (LRD) on the obverse side.

The mintage of the elaborate coin, which is the work of Le Grand Mint, is only 500 pieces.
