A phenomenal fusion of 99.99% gold and 99.95% platinum, and notable for the mintage of just 99, we are delighted to present this prestigious tribute to the Chess Pawn – ‘the soul of the game’!
Representing the ‘foot soldier’ of Chess, the Pawn is technically the weakest piece on the board. Having said that, no war was ever won by kings, queens and generals alone! Indeed, far from being mere fodder for more powerful pieces, the forward-marching Pawn is the basis for attack, fundamental in shaping strategy, and crucial to securing a firm foothold in the centre of the board. In addition, the concept of ‘promotion’ – where a Pawn can transform into a stronger piece, such as a Queen, if it reaches the opposite side of the board – symbolises ambition and potential, and the concept that anyone can rise to greatness through persistence and strategy.
Struck to Proof quality from 1oz of 99.99% gold and selectively plated in 99.95% platinum, this superbly designed coin captures the strength and discipline of the foot soldier of Chess perfectly. A compelling work of numismatic art, the broad 38.60mm flan depicts a row of pawns standing upon the chequered patterns of a chessboard, preparing for battle. A lovely touch, the Pawn in the foreground has a sword with a Pawn-shaped handle, and wears a decorative strap with a Pawn motif!
With the limited edition just 99, and with all of the Pawn’s predecessors in the Chess Gold Proof Series sold out, immediate action is a must. Click add to cart now!
