Daniel Arsham works in collaboration with Tiffany & Co. to launch a limited-edition partnership of the eroded coin. The two forces reimagine the coin and other conceptual art forms. Dubbed the Bronze Eroded Penny Vessel, it reimagined the American penny as a premium relic that looks like it is rooted in history and the future alike.
The coin is cast in a patinated bronze and then detailed with polished crystals that look like it is coming from the surface. The design nods to Tiffany's 1885 redesign of the American Great Seal as well as the Eroded Penny sculpture by Arsham back in 2013. There are 29 handmade designs with a hidden surprise. Joining this is a HardWare necklace tucked inside.
