NGC - Coin of the Day: Today is International Kissing Day, so let's celebrate the occasion with this France Silver 1.5 Euros that shows Gustav Klimt's The Kiss. Probably Klimt's most important work, the painting from the early 1900s resides today in a Vienna museum.

I needed to scope out this painting a bit more, to get a better view as to what exactly it was...

Didn't think I would ever say this about any coin, but the colorizing is an improvement.

I have to admit, I had no idea what I was looking at until I saw CoinForMe's second example.

Technically it is a 10 franc coin. The euro did not exist yet.

Sorry, this coin does not come in colorized. I did that myself (from an original painting), in case you're wondering...
