Description
This 1 Oz Silver coin belongs to the “Presepe” series. In this edition: St. Joseph. He loves Mary beyond all logic. Beyond the laws of his time. A simple love. Quiet. Discreet. A love that doesn’t ask for understanding. A love greater than fear. He welcomes the child who doesn’t come from his flesh, but will grow beneath his skin, in the quiet grammar of caresses. He will love him without asking for resemblance. And in his disarming simplicity, he will reveal the radical truth of fatherhood. The coin is carefully housed in a case, accompanied by its Certificate of Authenticity. Only 150 pieces in the world.
Design
The reverse of this Silver coin takes us back to the night of Bethlehem. St. Joseph watches over the mystery of the Nativity. One hand rests on his heart. The very heart that has guided his choices. His gaze falls upon the Child. And in that gaze, his fatherhood takes shape. He welcomes Jesus as his son. With the courage to give himself completely. The antique finish tears the coin away from the present. It devours the centuries and carries it back to that night. To the cold of the stable. To the silence that welcomes a new beginning. To the first breath that changes the destiny of the world. The reverse also bears the inscription “SAINT JOSEPH” — the name of the coin. On the obverse, a glimpse of the Street of Nativity Scenes unfolds. A journey into the ancient heart of Naples. Where the skilled hands of artisans give shape to the sacred. Where every workshop brings the same miracle to life. And renews it through its own artistry. At the top, the inscription “2$” — the face value. At the bottom, the Public Seal of Niue brings the sacred into the world of men. Below, the inscription: “2026” — the year of issue.
