We all know coins are all similar to each other. They all have exactly the same heads and faces with no striking difference of identity with the other. But for creative artists, this is not the way to go. Uniqueness and distinctive identity is one of their primary aim on their artworks. For this article, these identical coins are about to be given a ‘face-lift’ treatment through the works of Andre Levy.
Andre Levy (a.k.a. @zhion on instagram) is a Germany-based Brazilian artist who created a project in his instagram account which he calls Tales You Lose. It is a collection of different coins where he paints famous characters on its head-side, giving it a new personality. Today there have already been numerous coins he have painted and turned these just-another-coin into fun and creative collectible treasures. Scroll down and see some of his works. Come, take a peek, and enjoy!
