Description
This piece represents the pinnacle of modern numismatic engineering. It is the final, physical obverse of the Niue 2023 Sherlock Holmes coin, showcasing a complex multi-layered production process.

Selective Gilding: The frame of the magnifying glass is plated with 24K Gold, creating a luxurious contrast against the antique silver background.
High Relief Architecture: The Tower Bridge in the background is struck in high relief, providing a sense of immense scale and historical grandeur.
