The series dedicated to City Views continues its journey around the world with Rome. The heart of a once mighty empire that reached as far as British shores, its influence on the United Kingdom remains in the form of architecture, art, and feats of engineering. Once a key destination on the Grand Tour, a rite of passage for young British aristocrats looking to expand their cultural education, modern tourists follow their example and enjoy Rome’s famous fountains, classical monuments, and ornate piazzas. Available in a range of gold and silver editions, the coin’s reverse design is based on Aspect général de Rome by Jacques Alphonse Testard, which has been skillfully recreated in miniature. Showing the city as seen from atop the Janiculum Hill in the nineteenth century, it beautifully captures the panoramic sweep of one of the world’s most iconic skylines.
