One of the world’s leading opera, theatre and classical music festivals, the Salzburg Festival celebrates its centenary in 2020. Featuring opera, theatre and classical concerts, the Salzburg Festival offers a broader spectrum of cultural variety than any other. To celebrate this major cultural event, which is constantly in the process of reinventing itself, we have come up with a particularly innovative coin design.

On 22 August 1920, the director Max Reinhardt staged Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s morality play Jedermann in Salzburg’s Domplatz (Cathedral Square) for the first time and in doing so






founded the Salzburg Festival. Since 1926, the play has been a permanent feature of the festival programme, a tradition interrupted only during the Nazi regime. Those who stage or direct Jedermann in Salzburg’s Domplatz have reached the pinnacle of their career.

In addition to Max Reinhardt and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the composer Richard Strauss was also involved in the founding of this magnificent celebration of the performing arts, which did not take long to become established and achieve world renown. At Salzburg, the best is often not good enough. This gives the festival cultural relevance, which comes from its strength of tradition but also allows new directions to be explored and puts the avant-garde centre stage. This very special centenary coin is avant-garde itself. With an obverse that has the appearance of a plate with a flat inner part, a coin of this type has never been minted before. We believe it does the Salzburg Festival justice.

A new series dedicated to vases, which are considered the most expensive and famous in the whole world.

The first coin from this series “Chinese Dragon” features a small blue and white dragon porcelain vase that was sold for just about £5million – barely in 500 times more than it was estimated! The dragon vase dates back to the Qianlong period. It contains an intricate dragon motif and is beautifully decorated with bands of plantain leaves, waves, as well as a cloud-collar at the waisted neck and broad shoulders. The sides are densely painted with six meticulously rendered five-clawed dragons portrayed emerging from crashing waves and flying amid stylized clouds and flames.

A magnificent coin featuring a porcelain inset in the shape of a vase that is an incredibly fine piece of Chinese porcelain!

The East India Company Collections is delighted to introduce The Faerie Queene, a new series of precious metal coins inspired by Edmund Spenser’s epic medieval poem. Taking inspiration from Edmund Spenser’s epic 16th Century poem, this exclusive new coin series will feature knights, princesses, mythical beasts and magical villains, their stories brought to life in a collection of illustrative designs by one of the world’s most celebrated coin artists, Joel Iskowitz.

This first coin in our series starts, as it should, at the beginning. Book One tells the story of The Redcrosse Knight and the quest he is given by The Faerie Queene on behalf of the lady Una; to rescue her parents from the captivity of an evil dragon.

That legendary moment is beautifully captured in this exclusive new design by Joel Iskowitz, available now as a limited edition 1oz Silver Proof Coin, presented in a bespoke case alongside a booklet and certificate of authenticity

Comprising of four coin designs, issued over 2 -3 years, each coin features the key moments in this epic tale of chivalry, adventure, honor and romance beautifully depicted by the talented artist, Joel Iskowitz whose creative style and detail reflects the essence of this period in history in illustrative storytelling. 2022 FAERIE QUEEN UNA & REDCROSSE.
