Gone Fishing – 1 AVDP Ounce .999 Fine Copper Round | Garden Gnomes Series
Description:
Where the water is still and the world slows down, the gnomes find their peace.
This 1 AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round captures a tranquil moment along the forest’s edge, where two gnomes sit perched on a fallen branch, lines cast into calm waters below. With quiet focus and a touch of playful patience, they embrace one of life’s simplest pleasures—fishing in the hidden corners of nature where few dare to look.
Blending whimsy with finely executed detail, this design brings to life the peaceful rituals of the garden gnomes—guardians not only of the land, but of the quiet moments that make it worth protecting.
Obverse:
The obverse features two gnomes seated side by side on a weathered tree limb stretching over a serene pond. Each holds a fishing rod, their lines dipping into gently rippling water below. Beneath the surface, lily pads and aquatic plants add depth and texture, while surrounding foliage frames the scene in natural harmony. The flowing curves of the fishing lines introduce movement and balance, contrasting beautifully with the stillness of the water. Every detail—from the folds of their clothing to the organic textures of wood and water—has been carefully sculpted in rich intaglio style.
Reverse:
The reverse showcases the official Garden Gnomes series design, featuring a classic gnome holding a lantern and shovel—symbols of guidance and stewardship of the natural world. Encircling the central figure are the inscriptions GARDEN GNOMES • ONE AVDP OUNCE • .999 FINE COPPER • INTAGLIO MINT, presented in a clean, traditional coin layout that ensures consistency across the series while complementing the detailed obverse artwork.
