art lovers worldwide. One of his masterpieces, L’Hommage à Rosa Luxemburg, is
highlighted on the $2 commemorative circulation coin that celebrates

PHOTOS:
Note that the photos I post in my listings are
all from my own inventory. However, for items like this one where the
products are brand new from the mint and are identical the photo posted
in the listing is a STOCK photo meaning that the photos represent
the item you will be getting. Photos are taken in natural light so
sometimes there's a slightly WARMER reddish or brownish tone to the
photos.....this is just because they're taken in front of a large window
in order to represent them to you as honestly as possible. Normally
there is almost no difference
between the photo you see in the listing and the actual product you are
sent. Certificate numbers (if shown in a photo) are an example of
something that will not be the same in the item you receive.
