BIBLICAL ART - "BINDING of ISAAC" BY
REMBRANDT
The "Binding of Isaac" coin is the first in the Biblical Art series. In this moving story related in Genesis 22, Abraham, father of the Jewish people, demonstrated his faith in the Lord by showing his readiness to sacrifice his only son Isaac. Rembrandt van Rijn, the most famous Dutch painter, captured in this work dating from 1634 the moving moment when the Patriarch Abraham lifts the knife over his bound son, and is stopped by the Lord's Angel. The coin was minted in The Netherlands, completing an artistic circle.
