Description:
Beneath the shade of towering mushrooms, where the forest floor is soft and time drifts quietly by, even the most diligent gnomes take their rest.
This 1 AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round captures a peaceful moment deep within the woodland—an afternoon pause shared between a weary gnome and his gentle forest companion. Surrounded by blooming flowers, fluttering butterflies, and the calm presence of nature, this scene reflects the softer side of the gnome’s hidden world.
Charming, serene, and richly detailed, this design offers a glimpse into the balance these mythical caretakers keep between work and rest—reminding us that even guardians of the earth must occasionally slow down.
Obverse:
The obverse features a heartwarming scene of a gnome reclining beneath a large, protective mushroom, its textured cap arching overhead like a natural shelter. Resting peacefully beside him is a woodland rabbit, adding warmth and companionship to the composition. Delicate flowers, grasses, and butterflies surround the pair, creating a lush, immersive environment filled with fine intaglio detail. The layered textures—from the gnome’s beard and clothing to the organic surfaces of the mushroom and foliage—bring depth and softness to this tranquil woodland setting.
Reverse:
The reverse displays 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-style layout that maintains consistency across the series while complementing the detailed obverse.
