Design

The obverse of Silver Madonna and Child Rounds shows the Virgin Mary in left-profile relief with a halo above her head as she gazes down at baby Jesus in her hands. Over time, the Madonna and Child motif became a focal point of medieval and Renaissance art, inspiring artists like Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo to create well-known interpretations that blended religious meaning with emotional depth. On the reverse of 1 oz Silver Madonna and Child Rounds, fir branches frame the upper edge while a single ornament hangs in the center of the design. Inscriptions on the reverse include ONE TROY OUNCE and 999 FINE SILVER.

History

Images of the Madonna and Child began appearing in the 4th and 5th centuries, first in Roman catacombs and later in Byzantine church mosaics and paintings. These depictions emphasized Marys role as Theotokos, or God-bearer, and reflected the belief in Christs divine and human nature.
