Congratulations to the Central Bank of Malta and Noel Galea Bason for an exceptionally beautiful coin celebrating Antonio Sciortino’s art.

Galea Bason has proved once again that, as a numismatic draughtsman and modeller, he not only has no rival, but none second to him.

He surpassed the severe intrinsic technical constraints of the medium, such as minute scale and shallow relief, to succeed in rendering superbly all the intensity, mastery and power of Scior­tino’s three-dimensional study of movement and speed.

Doubtless, the master would have been pleased.
