Tuvalu 2010 $1 Great Composers Gustav Mahler 1860-1911 1oz Silver Proof Coin

Throughout his life, Mahler was best known as a conductor. His first love, however, was composing. In the latter half of the 20th century, his technically demanding but emotive works found relevance among a wider audience, raising his status to one of the most important composers of all time. The coin’s reverse depicts a representation of Gustav Mahler a treble def and music notes. As well as The Perth Mint's ‘P’ mintmark the design includes the inscription ‘Gustav Mahler 1860 - 1911’.
