With this issue of the series “Art of the 100th” the New Zealand Mint celebrates theĀ 100th anniversary of Warner Brothers Studios. The coin was struck from an impressiveĀ 5 ounces of 99.9% silverĀ and is dedicated to the science fiction classicĀ The Matrix, which was released in 1999. “The Matrix” is about artificial intelligence subjugating humanity and controlling it with the help of machines. While people perceive their everyday life as real, it is actually a fake reality – in the background they are abused as energy sources, only their physique is coupled to the so-called matrix. The team around Morpheus and Trinity sees the hacker Thomas A. Anderson aka “Neo” as the chosen one to lead the underground organization’s fight against the overpowering machinery and free humanity from its imprisonment in the Matrix.
The motive of theĀ rectangular coinĀ features the iconic red and blue pill that Morpheus offers Neo in the film against a black background. While the red pill stands for the awakening from the Matrix, the blue pill represents the conscious stay in the illusory reality simulated by a program. The digital matrix code runs in the background, merging into the representation of a city, which is the pretend reality. The reverse shows the “WB 100” logo as well as the seal of Niue, the denomination, the weight and fineness, the year of issue, the copyright and theĀ individual numberingĀ of the coin. In honor of the anniversary, the mintage of theĀ rectangular 5 oz silver proof coinĀ is limited to only 100 pieces worldwide. The coin is delivered in the original box including a certificate of authenticity from the New Zealand Mint.
