IN BRIEF
The Mint of Gdańsk prepares coins with a cyberpunk motif
The premiere of Cyberpunk 2077, which took place on December 10 last year, caused quite a stir. The latest work of the CD Projekt RED studio was on the lips not only of industry media, but also general media, and despite some controversies related primarily to the technical condition, it turned out to be a huge commercial success. It certainly influenced the popularity of the cyberpunk itself as well. The Mint of Gdańsk decided to take advantage of this, which is preparing a series of collector’s coins The Punk Universe. They are to be inspired by the dark future characteristic of this genre.
Pre-sale the first such coin – the New Zealand dollar from Niue Island worth 5 – is already underway. According to the current plans (which may change, however), it is to debut on April 30 this year. As we read in the official description of money, it will be able to boast of a multitude of three-dimensional details and a rich color palette. Moreover, it will be covered with a fluorescent substance, thanks to which it will glow in the dark. This is to further emphasize the futurism of the coin. You can admire the design of both the reverse and the obverse below.
