Product description
This innovative silver coin, which impressively combines natural and artificial motifs, reflects on where evolution would go if humans intervened. A mechanical ladybird serves as its central element.
The seven-spot ladybird, better known simply as the ladybird, is arguably the most famous bug in the world. It owes this to its graceful appearance - red-coloured trusses with three black dots on each side and one dot common to both trusses. Ladybirds are not only beautiful, but also useful, as they feed on pests such as aphids, which they eat hundreds of during their life. People have always believed that the seven-pointed sunflower brings good luck - perhaps because seven is a lucky number. It also brings health - those whom it sits on his or her hand does not need to fear of illness. Because of its bright red colour, it is a patron of love, and another superstition says that it takes people's wishes to God…
The reverse side of the commemorative coin presents an extraordinary ladybird. Its trusses are completely natural, the rest of its body is made up of cogwheels, pistons and other mechanical parts. The flower on which the ladybird sits is also mechanical. The reverse side is processed with a unique multi-layered technique that gives it vibrant colours. The obverse side is filled with an elaborate clockwork, which incorporates the attributes of the coin's issuer - the national emblem of Mongolia and the nominal value of 2000 TOGROG. All this is reflected in deep relief.
The unusual Power Coin is stored in an elegant case. It represents an attractive addition to the collection, but also an original gift for good luck.
