• Numbered edge, resin and metallic UV printing.

A fractured visor opens onto broken industrial structures, turning the protective mask into the centre of Fukushima’s sombre composition. Raised metalwork, recessed shadows and the muted antique finish give the damaged framework a layered, sculptural presence. Green highlights trace the visor and exposed structures, while FUKUSHIMA and the date 11.03.2011 anchor the design to its historical subject. On the obverse, Niue’s public seal sits beside a finely detailed industrial scene.

The fourth release in the Human Tragedies series combines 2oz of .999 silver with high relief, resin and metallic UV printing. Its 45 mm diameter allows the mask, pipework and fractured surfaces to remain distinct, while the numbered edge provides an individual identifying detail within the 400-coin mintage. A wooden box and Certificate of Authenticity complete the presentation. View the relief and contrasting finishes of Fukushima at FORTYMILLION.
