2022 In His Foot Steps - Jerusalem Proof
This beautiful and inspiring design with actual pieces from locations of biblical importance. This one-ounce silver coin continues the story with an image of Jesus and his disciples breaking bread during the famous Last Supper. The meal was held in Jerusalem the night before Jesus was crucified by Pontius Pilate. The words spoken by Jesus during the meeting form the sacrament of the Eucharist when Christians remember the Last Supper. It is recounted in the Gospel of Matthew where it reads:
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sin.
An Actual Piece Of The Holy Land
Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% silver, the coin also includes an inlaid capsule that contains sand taken directly from the city of Jerusalem! The capsule and its captivating contents are a perfect contrast to the gleaming Proof surface of the coin that was expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. The image itself is based on Leonardo da Vinci’s late 15th-century mural painting The Last Supper housed by the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
