Salvator Mundi has long been at the center of a controversy about whether it is an original or an overpainting. The rendering of Jesus in a blue Renaissance dress is stylistically similar to other works by da Vinci, but it is likely that this painting was done for a specific patron. This painting was likely used for personal devotion for this client and the colors and inclusions in the image are somewhat different than those typically chosen by Leonardo da Vinci. The original painting actually fell apart during restoration and had to be painfully reconstructed before being restored.

The obverse presents an original design depicting a portrait of the artist himself and the theme of this collectible, Salvator Mundi, in a currency note style as the design of the legal tender, featuring the Coat of Arms du Tchad.

On a canvas of 11 x 14.5cm, a new minting technique called “Bi-Metal Max” was applied to give this piece its remarkable weight while keeping its proportions true to the actual painting. This is made possible by combining 33.5 oz of copper as a base with a top painting layer of 2 oz of 999 pure Silver, resulting in a high relief.

This is a limited edition of 888 pieces only. Each piece is packaged and delivered with a Certificate verifying its edition number and authenticity.
