The "Reading Challenge" series "memento mori" edition has launched its debut coin, "The Picture of Dorian Gray", from the Lithuanian Mint. This remarkable coin pays tribute to one of Oscar Wilde's well-known literary works, a dark and eerie tale about Dorian Gray.

Adam Spizak, a gifted artist in London, created the coin's design. Drawing inspiration from his favorite horror, science fiction, and video games, he frequently blends elements of popular culture with bizarre, gothic-style 3D artwork. The author has worked in computer graphics for over 25 years, first developing an interest in the field in 1996. Throughout his career, he has worked with many well-known figures in the video game, film, and art industries. Adam Spizak has collaborated with industry heavyweights like Hasbro, Playboy, Adobe, Grammy, and Disney.

The artist carefully considered Dorian's facial features and expressions when creating the "The Picture of Dorian Gray" coin to convey the character's subtleties as described in Oscar Wilde's book. Adam Spizak relied on specific scenes and themes in the story to faithfully depict it throughout the creative process.

This unique five-dollar collector coin is adorned with gilded details and is crafted from silver with an antique finish. The coin's reverse, which features the main character Dorian Gray, alludes to the novel's key themes deftly woven throughout, emphasizing the significance of the character's experiences and the narrative's unspoken dimensions. Examining the coin closely will reveal a poppy flower on Dorian's jacket lapel, which represents his opium addiction. An "Anubis knot" tied in a tie alludes to Dorian's ambition to resemble a god. The character's face is deteriorating, mirroring the sinister changes occurring within him, much like the portrait of Dorian in the narrative. The details of the flowers and skulls surrounding the character's portrait highlight the story's central themes. A golden quote from the book, "To define is to limit", atop the coin.
