This is a collection of silver coins struck by the Franklin Mint starting 1973. Each coin is 1000 grains (about 2.1 ounces) Stirling silver. The obverse depicts a work of art while the reverse identifies the work. Ancient and Renaissance artwork seemed to be preferred. The set comes in a specially designed chest (20 coins per drawer). There is also a book with a picture of each coin describing each artwork.
The value of any coin can rise over time, and prices fluctuate based on the economy and rarity of any treasured piece. As of June, 2014, the value of a full set of 100 Greatest Masterpieces by the Franklin Mint averages at just under $10,000.
