A new coin.
The 2021 Ghana 5 Cedis “Vladimir Vysotsky – Galilei” silver coin is a remarkable tribute to one of the most influential cultural figures of the Soviet era. Dedicated to Vladimir Vysotsky — legendary poet, actor, songwriter, and performer — this Proof silver issue commemorates his powerful theatrical role in the play “Life of Galileo.” Vysotsky became famous for his emotional performances, deep philosophical lyrics, and unique voice that resonated with millions across generations. This collectible coin captures both the artistic legacy of the performer and the intellectual symbolism connected with the image of Galileo.
The reverse presents a finely detailed portrait of Vladimir Vysotsky seated in theatrical costume, holding an object in his hands while gazing thoughtfully forward. Along the rim appears the inscription “Владимир Высоцкий,” while the lower section bears the title “Галилей.” In the background, the design includes fragments of theatrical posters and text from the production “Жизнь Галилея,” adding depth and historical atmosphere to the composition. The frosted relief contrasts beautifully with mirrored Proof fields, emphasizing the facial features, folds of clothing, and dramatic stage mood. The obverse features the coat of arms of Ghana supported by two heraldic eagles beneath a large star, along with inscriptions of the issuing country, denomination, year, and silver fineness.
Struck in silver with exceptional Proof quality, this coin is certified by PCGS PR70DCAM, indicating a flawless Deep Cameo example. Combining literature, theatre, music, philosophy, and cultural history, this issue is highly desirable for collectors of commemorative world coins, theatrical memorabilia, and Vysotsky-related collectibles. Its artistic design and perfect certification make it an outstanding addition to any numismatic collection.
