| Aanvullende informatie |
The Vitruvian Man drawing dates to around 1490 and survives in a single original sheet held at the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice — so fragile it is almost never displayed publicly. Leonardo's proportional study was itself derived from a passage in Vitruvius's first-century BC treatise De architectura, which described ideal human proportions in relation to temple geometry.
The Solomon Islands has no historical connection to the subject; the issuer here is purely nominal, a licensing arrangement common to the modern bullion collectible market. At 155.5 g of .999 silver, this is a five-troy-ounce piece.
