Description
The contemporary artistic solution applied to the Mosaic coin encourages to exercise one’s personal and creative freedom, to be bold in style choices and to incorporate abstract, stylised or even photorealistic art into own decor.
The reverse of the ‘Mosaic’ coin depicts two symbols made up of small decorative elements. The first is perhaps the best-known surrealist artist who became the symbol of surrealism itself. The second is a traditional Greek geometric ornament – a meander (Greek: μαίανδρος, meandros – a curve or a bend), which symbolizes eternity, unity, and harmony. This pattern is like a link that connects individual pieces of a puzzle into an aesthetic whole.
The portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by fine mosaic details, is proudly in the centre of the obverse.
