2$ Anne Frank

This commemorative 1 Oz Silver coin resonates with Anne Frank's hope.

A candle lit in the darkness. A delicate rose among thorns. Innocence that endures amidst atrocities.

Born in Frankfurt, 12 June 1929. From 1942 to 1944, the annex above her father's business in Amsterdam became both prison and refuge, where her pen carved hopes and fears onto paper. Kitty. Her diary.

On 4 August 1944 Gestapo boots shattered their sanctuary.

Then Auschwitz.

Air thick with ash. Sky blackened with the smoke of vanished lives. Cold burning as cruel as fire. A land of desperation and agony. A tomb of humanity. Here, death came as typhus.

Only Otto Frank, Anne's father, survived. Carrying the diary. Carrying her voice. Published in 1947, it became the cry of a young girl heard across nations. Now, her legacy gleams in Silver. Antique Finish. Relief. The coin is sealed in a case with its Certificate of Authenticity. Only 199 pieces in the world.
