1 dollar silver coin ‘New York between Sky and Lens’

Description

The Lithuanian Mint Art Gallery collection presents New York between Sky and Lens — a coin inspired by the legendary imagery of early New York photography and cinematography, when the city was discovered through daring lenses suspended between the streets and the sky.

The design echoes the iconic scenes of the 1920s and 1930s, when photographers and camera operators balanced above the rising metropolis to capture a new modern world. The figure behind the camera becomes a symbol of the observing eye — the one who turns steel, clouds, and avenues into visual memory.

Struck from 1 oz of .999 fine silver, the coin recreates the atmosphere of historic urban photography through refined relief and high-definition printing. Light, perspective, and architectural rhythm merge into a single narrative — the moment when the city meets the lens.

This piece is both a numismatic work and a homage to the pioneers who shaped the visual identity of New York.
