"Greatest Stories Of The Bible" Proof Coin Collection

Working primarily in woodcut illustration, Gustave Doré became one of the most famous book illustrators in the world through his pioneering and romantic images for books authored by Edgar Allen Poe, Lord Byron and Cervantes, and now his beloved works grace this spectacular collection of Proof coins! At the height of his popularity, Doré was asked to illustrate the Bible. These dynamic images have been reproduced countless times around the world and are considered by many to be essential biblical artwork.
