1$ Fairy Tale

This 1-ounce, 1-dollar silver coin is a fascinating blend of cultural heritage and modern minting, and it marks the second release in the series. It features the artwork "Fairy Tale. Painting II from the Triptych" by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, one of the most significant figures in Lithuanian cultural history. Known for fusing music, art, and national identity, Čiurlionis holds a special place in Lithuania’s legacy, and this coin serves as a tangible tribute to his contributions.

“Fairy Tale” depicts a serene, symbolic world—focused less on fantasy and more on mood and myth. While the original painting may not be widely recognized outside Lithuania, it is in fact a prime example of Symbolist painting that swept through Europe at the end of the 19th century. This silver coin adds depth and narrative to any collection, standing out more for its meaning than for intricate relief work.

For collectors seeking coins with value beyond aesthetics or metal content, this piece offers something truly unique: a connection to national identity that resonates globally through symbols, cultural stories, and artistic history that haven’t been overexposed. It’s a thoughtful addition to any modern numismatic series—especially for those who appreciate stories that have yet to saturate the global market.
