Girl with a Pearl Earring Museum Masterpieces Girl with a Pearl Earring €10 Silver Coin

The new series "Museum Masterpieces" by Monnaie de Paris is dedicated to the great works of art that are exhibited in France or were created there. This rectangular commemorative coin is issued in honor of the Dutch Baroque artist Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) and his work "Girl with a Pearl Earring". The world-famous painting was created between 1665 and 1667 and has not lost its special magic to this day. In particular, the identity of the girl depicted and the pearl earring, which appears to be floating, have always puzzled the viewer. The motif of the 10 Euro silver coin shows an image of the painting as well as the inscriptions "LA JEUNE FILLE À LA PERLE - J. VERMEER", "CHEFS D'ŒUVRE DES MUSÉES" and the year of issue 2021. At the bottom is the facade of the Parisian Jeu Museum de Paume, where the work was first exhibited outside the Netherlands in 1921. The reverse of the coin depicts different views of French museums as well as the inscription "RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE" and the face value "10 EURO". The limited silver commemorative coin is delivered in the original case including a certificate of authenticity.
