Giovanni Boccaccio is one of the most prominent Renaissance Italian writers. As a result of his compilation of 100 short stories, the Decameron, he captured the essence of Italy’s soul with classic tales that embody eroticism to tragedy.

His world-famous literary masterpiece inspired MINT XXI to create a 5 ounce silver collectible coin describing the stories are woven, the way of life of the progressive bourgeoisie, who combined respect for conventions with an open-minded attitude toward personal behavior. The high-relief minting conveys in detail the images of intertwining bodies.

This massive 65 mm silver coin is engraved with scenes of elegant stories combined with the romantic, funny, and tragic moments of human life and the human mind.
