Monnaie de Paris pays tribute to the major masterpieces of French museums or having been painted in France.

This rectangular commemorative coin struck from 1/4 ounce of gold is issued in honor of the Spanish artist Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) and his artwork “The Persistence of Memory”. The world-famous painting was created in 1931 and is also called“The Melting Time” or“The Soft Clocks”. It shows three melting clocks against a barren landscape, said to have been inspired by Dalí’s hometown of Port Lligat. Dalí is the undisputed master of surrealism and continues to enchant viewers today with his extravagant and surreal paintings.

The “Museum Masterpiece” stamp that defines this series has been added at the bottom right and blends with thework. In the background, the front of Beaubourg, where Salvador Dali has been the subject of several exhibitions, most recently in 2013, has been depicted. The name of the work and that of the artist also complete the decoration. The year 2021 appears on the left.
