In 1843, Gustave Dore began to work on a series of 241 wood engravings capturing scenes from the stories in the Bible. His works were eventually published in two volumes with simultaneous release in Tours, France, and in the United Kingdom in 1866. In all, the scenes he depicted covered 139 plates representing the Old Testament and 81 representing the New Testament.
The obverse of the 2021 Silver Saint Paul Shipwrecked Biblical Coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. England’s longest-reigning monarch, Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. This visual was created as the third-generation British design in 1985 and was designed by Raphael Maklouf.
On the reverse side of 2021 2 oz Saint Paul Shipwrecked Biblical Coins is a depiction of Saint Paul standing on the shores of Malta as the ship was aboard sinks in the distance. Several other individuals are with him on the island, some still attempting to seek refuge from the angry seas.
The entire life story of Saint Paul is a unique one. Before he was Paul, he was known as Saul, and was a harsh critic of the emerging group of Christians. In fact, he sought out Christians to expose them for the purposes of persecution. However, an encounter a resurrected Jesus Christ changed the trajectory of his life.
