Known as the Ave Maria, the Hail Mary is a traditional prayer calling for the Vigin Mary to intercede on your behalf. Used by various groups within the Catholic tradition, the Hail Mary is most commonly associated with recitation of the Rosary. Today, the Hail Mary is one of the most popular and widely used prayers in all of Catholicism.

Meticulously crafted in tribute to the Holy Mother and the prayer that hails her, this American Mint Exclusive coin is a full 2" in diameter and is layered in 24k gold. The obverse features a beautifully engraved portrait of the Virgin Mary framedby 15 smaller vignettes of important events in her blessed life, such as: the birth of Jesus, the Annunciation, the Flight to Egypt, and the Ascension. This magnificent mosaic is pad-printed in fullcolor reminiscent of a classic Renaissance painting. To make this a truly remarkable piece, two SWAROVSKI® ELEMTS are hand-set on either side of Mary's picture.
