Description
A masterpiece of architecture and a symbol of eternal love, the Taj Mahal stands as one of the world's most breathtaking monuments. Completed in 1648 in Agra, India, this stunning mausoleum was commissioned by the Great Mogul Shah Jahan in honour of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The name Taj Mahal, meaning "crown of the palace," is a fitting tribute to her legacy.
The structure, built over 22 years, features a central dome and delicate minarets, meticulously crafted with bricks fired on-site and clad in gleaming white marble. The walls are adorned with an array of precious stones from distant lands, adding to its mesmerizing beauty. Today, it continues to captivate around 5 million visitors annually.
This 5oz silver coin is the fourth release in the Historical Monuments series and showcases the Taj Mahal in extraordinary ultra-high relief on both sides. The intricate architectural details come to life against an antique finish, offering a stunning tribute to this world-famous landmark. Adding to its allure, the reverse features two interior views of the Taj Mahal’s tomb, providing a rare glimpse into its sacred beauty.
Just as the Taj Mahal endures as a monument to love, this numismatic masterpiece immortalizes its splendour in fine silver. With its limited mintage and remarkable craftsmanship, it is a must-have for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
