FIJI - 2019 - 10 DOLLARS 1 OZ Gold Wim Delvoye Cloaca - Proof

AU999, Diameter 38,61 mm, Mintage 250 ex., Republic of Fiji Quality Proof, Made by Royal Dutch Mint. Depicting his infamous Cloaca-machine, Wim Delvoye’s Fiji coin is inspired by how PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) are constructed and pays tribute to the digital revolution that was made possible by these computer circuits. Clearly referring to contemporary developments in Artificial Intelligence, the makeability of the human body and brain, nanotechnology, biotechnology and the increasing digitization, Wim Delvoye uses the PCB-design to establish a link with blockchain technology, connecting the monetary aspect with the digital world, just as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies do.
