The rhythm of Piazza dei Signori
Padua’s clock traces its history to the 14th century. Its complex dial combines the day of the month, the sun’s passage through the zodiac, lunar days and the relationship between the moon and sun. Gilded zodiac signs, moon phases and a Roman-numeral hour ring turn scientific observation into civic art.
Collector appeal
The broad 50 mm format gives the astronomical design room to breathe, while Proof surfaces and selective colour highlight the clock’s layered detail. Each of the 700 coins is individually numbered on the edge. The extensive gallery includes multiple angles and presentation views for collectors of architecture, astronomy and limited Maltese silver.
Actual coin size may vary from images.
