X-RAY – CREATION OF ADAM 2023 Cook Islands 1oz proof silver coin

On the heels of our recent X-ray adventure in Egypt, we visit Rome, one of the centres of art in Italy for the 3^rd edition of the series.

The depicted image of almost touching hands derives from a renowned ceiling fresco by the Italian painter Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. The divine breath of life leaps from God’s finger to the one of a human. This famous gesture represents the Creation of Adam – the first man.

Next to the hands of God and his divine creation, a part of another monumental work by Michelangelo – The Last Judgement – is revealed.
