Third in the six coin series is Rose. Having been completed by Alphonse Mucha in 1898, the original water color was made as a personification of the rose flower. The piece depicts a beautiful woman with roses adorning her upswept hair. Delicately holding a full bloomed rose in each of her hands, the woman stares serenely straight ahead. The naturalistic background of flowering rose vines surrounds the woman.

World renowned artist/painter Alphonse Mucha was born in the Czech Republic in 1860. At the early age of 17, Mucha resolves to become a professional painter and set out to begin his art studies in Munich. Mucha moved to Paris in the late 1800s, continuing his studies and becomingvery successful producing magazine and advertising illustrations. It was about 1895 that Mucha produced posters for plays catapulting his success. He produced a flurry of posters, advertisements, paintings and book illustrations.
