Coin description
In the center of the reverse is a vivid, full-color depiction of the Poppy Flowers by Van Gogh, faithfully recreated and surrounded by an elegant decorative frame. The detailed artwork and framing give the piece the appearance of a miniature gallery masterpiece, capturing the spirit and style of the original with exceptional clarity.
The obverse side of the coin presents a dynamic scene depicting a masked art thief in mid-escape, rendered in detailed relief. At the top, the inscription “CATCH ME IF YOU CANVAS” appears in bold, stylized lettering, setting the theme of the design. The central element is the framed inset featuring the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Ghana, along with the inscriptions “5 CEDIS” (face value) and “2026” (year of issue) positioned as though the thief is carrying it out of the museum. The background features stylized gallery walls and artworks in soft relief. Along the lower edge, the inscriptions “REPUBLIC OF GHANA” and “1 OZ .999 FINE SILVER” complete the official details of the obverse.
Background information
Poppy Flowers is a vibrant still life painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1887. It depicts a small bouquet of red poppies in a simple glass vase, set against a warm, yellow-toned background. The composition captures Van Gogh’s fascination with color, texture, and the fleeting beauty of nature. The brushwork is energetic and expressive, typical of his Post-Impressionist style. Tragically, the painting was stolen in 1977 and again in 2010, and its whereabouts remain unknown to this day.
Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter whose emotionally charged and boldly colored works had a profound impact on modern art. Despite struggling with mental illness and selling few paintings in his lifetime, he created over 2,000 artworks, including iconic pieces like Starry Night and Sunflowers. His expressive brushstrokes and vivid use of color conveyed deep emotion. Van Gogh died young, but his legacy has grown enormously, making him one of history’s most influential artists.
