2022 2 oz Silver Coin - Biblical Series (Cleansing the Temple)

---

This striking 2022 release marks the forty-third entry in the acclaimed Biblical Series. Struck from two troy ounces of 0.999 fine silver, the coin features a rimless, high-relief format that brings its dramatic subject matter to life with exceptional depth. An antique finish enhances the intricate details, giving the metal a timeless, sculptural quality. The reverse of the coin features a powerful depiction of Jesus driving the money changers and merchants from the sacred Temple grounds. This detailed composition is based on the historic artwork of Gustave Doré. On the obverse, the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Raphael Maklouf, is surrounded by inscriptions detailing the weight, silver purity, and the face value of two dollars. With a strict mintage limit of just 1,499 pieces, each coin in this series features a unique serial number laser-etched directly onto its edge, ranging from 1 to 1499. The accompanying certificate of authenticity displays the biblical passage of Mark 11:15 to 16 from the New Living Translation, alongside a reproduction of the original Doré illustration that inspired this dramatic piece of modern minting.
