The Great Wave Treasures of World Painting 1oz Proof Silver Coin 1$ Niue 2020

This wonderful 1 oz silver coin is created in honor of the artwork “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” of the ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. It belongs to the “Treasures of World” series, which is dedicated to some of the most famous paintings.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa ("In the well of a wave off Kanagawa", "Under the wave off Kanagawa"), also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. It was published sometime between 1830 and 1833 in the late Edo period as the first print in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. It is Hokusai's most famous work, and one of the best-recognized works of Japanese art in the world. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats off the coast of the prefecture of Kanagawa. While sometimes assumed to be a tsunami, the wave is, as the picture's title suggests, more likely to be a large rogue wave. As in all the prints in the series, it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions, and the mountain itself appears in the background.

The reverse of the coin represents a wonderfully colored image of Katsushika Hokusai's famous painting “Great Wave” – the most recognizable works of Japanese art in the world. The coin depicts an enormous wave threatening three boats off the coast of the town of Kanagawa, while Mount Fuji rises in the background. The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
