Peace in Aubergine
A 1923 Peace Dollar Study
Against a sculptural field of deep aubergine, plum and muted violet, the 1923 Peace Dollar emerges with quiet strength. Thick, overlapping textures evoke hand-worked encaustic wax and palette-knife impasto, while controlled light reveals the coin’s timeworn silver surface and celebrated portrait of Liberty.
The contrast between cool silver and luxurious purple gives the composition a distinctly contemporary character without separating the coin from its historic origins. Light reflected beneath the dollar anchors it within the scene, transforming a familiar American coin into a dramatic numismatic portrait.
Created for collectors who see coins as more than objects, Peace in Aubergine celebrates the artistry, history and enduring symbolism carried by the Peace Dollar.

- Collector rooms and numismatic displays
