Gibraltar Silver Cherubs

All coins have a denomination of 1 Royal, which is no longer used as a unit of currency in Gibraltar.  About 350 years ago, the Royal - or Ryal as it was popularly called - departed from the realm of British coinage at the time of the demise of King Charles I.  Following a long and bitter civil war, the "roundheads" looked with great disfavor on all things bearing the proud title "Royal".  Since then, this denomination has been primarily used on bullion coins made from Silver, Gold, or Platinum. These coins have become extremely collectible. Each coin contains one ounce of .999 fine silver in proof condition and has a yearly mintage of only 50,000 world wide. The coins have frosty raised areas and mirrored backgrounds that look black when photographed. Each coin comes in a red leatherette case with COA. All Cherubs now come in a red leatherette collector case.

 
2003 Gibraltar Silver Cherub

The sixth coin in the Cherub Angel series was issued in 2003. This issue is based on 'the Sistine Madonna' by Raphael Sanzio that hangs in the Dresden Museum in Germany and features the Madonna from behind a curtain and the darling angels leaning on the balustrade at the painting base. Raphael (1483-1520) became one of the greatest and most famous painters during the Italian Renaissance and is generally considered to be one of the most popular artists of all time. The reverse of the coin features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.

2001 Gibraltar Silver Cherub

The fourth coin in the Cherub Angel series was issued in 2001, and is based on a drawing by an unknown artist who was a follower of Francois Boucher, the most successful French painter of his time and the favorite artist of Louis XV and his mistress Madame Pompadour, and master of the elegant decorative style known today as Rococo. Literally translated, 'Amorini' means 'little loves' and the two cherubs on this delightful coin certainly fit that description.  One of the cherubs is reaching skywards while the other is pointing upwards with one hand and holding a torch in the other. The reverse of the coin features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.

2000 Gibraltar Silver Cherub

The third coin in the Cherub Angel series was issued in 2000, and is based on the painting "The Birth of Venus" by Alexandre Cabanel, which hangs in the Musee d'Orsay, Paris, France.  Cabanel's beautiful painting shows five child-like angels floating above Venus, and this coin captures two of the five cherubs from the painting.  Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889) was born in Montpellier, France.  "The Birth of Venus" was painted in 1863, and is his best known work.  The original painting was purchased by the emperor Napoleon III, who gave Cabanel several prestigious commissions. The reverse of the coin features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.

1999 Gibraltar Silver Cherub

The second coin in the Cherub Angel series was issued in 1999, and is based on the painting "Heads of Angels" by Sir Joshua Reynolds, which was painted in 1787 and hangs in the Tate Gallery in London.  This beautiful painting features the faces of five child-like angels, and this coin captures four of the five cherubic faces from the painting.  The image of the painting can best be described as "gentle" with the cherubic faces surrounded by their wings and swirling clouds.  The reverse of the coin features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
