Description
Imperial Fabergé Eggs, known also as Tsar’s Fabergé Eggs, are considered masterpieces of the jeweller’s art and a symbol of extravagance and luxury. Created by Peter Carl Fabergé and his assistants for tsars: Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia, the eggs were made of gold and silver and decorated with enamels and precious stones.
The Mint of Poland released a series of collector coins dedicated to these extraordinary pieces of art. The first coin from the series was “Coronation Egg”, the next is “Lily of the Valley Egg”.
The coin depicts precisely an image of the Lily of the Valley Egg. Very low mintage and unusual shape crystals make the coin highly attractive for collectors
