This June, World Coin Appreciation launched their own take on the genre, struck in 60 grams of copper with a gram of silver around it. The end result is a decent sized coin at an extremely friendly price. True, it doesn’t have that sharply defined multi-level strike that Smartminting seems to manage with ease, but as you can see from the images, it looks great regardless.
This time around, the subject is absolutely perfect. Hokusai’s ‘Great Wave Off Kanagawa’ is a visual masterpiece, and one of the few that has made the jump to popular culture today. From the coin images, we can see a terrific reproduction, and even though the frame is a little out of place for the art, it all looks very cool. The silver layer sits under the colour, showing through on the unfinished section of the puzzle.
The coin has a decent 2,000 mintage and is well presented in a windowed display frame. With a very affordable price, a fine choice of subject, and what looks to be a quality strike, this is the perfect choice for those that want a micropuzzle style coin, but have a lower budget. That it shows no sign of being a cheaper offering is a credit to the producer.
