150th Anniversary of Anton Chekhov 1oz Silver Bullion Coin
This release from The Perth Mint’s Great Russian Minds series celebrates the 150th anniversary of the birth of Anton Chekhov, a giant of Russian literature who is regarded as the outstanding representative of the late 19th-century realist school. Born in Taganrog on 29 January 1860, Chekhov is most famously remembered for four great plays - The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard – as well as more than 600 short-stories, many of which are considered masterpieces.
Bullion Quality 99.9% Pure Silver
The coin is struck from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in bullion quality.
Coloured Reverse Design
The coin’s reverse depicts a sepia-coloured image of the famous writer accompanied by the inscription ‘150th Anniversary Anton Chekhov 1860 – 2010’. The reverse also portrays two seagulls denoting one of his famous dramas; the Moscow Arts Theatre, which staged The Seagull in 1898; and comedy and tragedy masks, universal symbols of theatre.
‘P’ Mintmark
The reverse features the Mint’s distinctive ‘P’ mintmark.
Legal Tender
Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the coin’s obverse depicts the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the 2010 year-date.
