Included with this purchase is the book 'Piaget' by Franco Cologni in which the Dalí d'Or is displayed. The page's contents are relayed below:
Depicting himself and Gala with as well as recurring motifs such as laurel leaves and eggs - a symbol of rebirth frequently used in his work. Piaget described these pieces at the time of release as follows:
From the genius of Salvador Dalí, his palette and his crucible, a new coinage has come to us – the Gold Dalí. The obverse bears the famous mustachioed 'lucky antennae' profile, inseparable from the effigy of wife Gala: 'my Gravida queller of terrors and conqueror of desire'.
On the reverse, in the likeness of our own earthly sphere – the hard yet soft element – are the eggs, teeming with life in process of formation – the world of tomorrow. For Salvador Dali, the egg is so replete with meaning that it is to be found in most of his key-works.
Enthralled by these captivating gold coins, emblems of art absolute from Dali's alchemistic smithy, PIAGET, the master-jewellers, have secured the sole right to combine them with their own ‘haut luxe' production. And so you will now find '5 Dali' - '2 Dali' - '1 Dali' - '½ Dali' pieces converted, as is done with antique coins, into pendants, bracelets, rings and other exclusive items. We may add that each and every Dali coin has a 900/1000 gold content and bears a serial number. Mintage is, of course, limited.
