A female figure appears to rise slowly from a surface of intense blue. Her face remains serene, with closed eyes and a tilted head, while a complex network of geometric lines runs across her skin and extends to the base as if it were a solidified waterfall.
This original composition gives shape to LADY WATERFALL, a new collector coin presented by Power Coin that explores the relationship between the human figure, water, geometry, and contemporary sculpture. Far from the conventional numismatic format, the head protrudes approximately 3.5 centimeters above the base, transforming the coin into a true miniature sculpture.
The piece inaugurates the " Wireframe Art" series and is minted with two ounces of 999 fine silver, features an antique finish and blue enamel, and has a particularly limited run of only 250 copies worldwide.
When digital geometry is transformed into currency
The concept of wireframe, which literally translates to "wire structure," comes primarily from digital design and 3D modeling. Before a virtual figure is given colors, lights, or textures, its volume can be visualized using a mesh made up of lines and points that define each of its surfaces.
This structure functions as the geometric skeleton of the object and allows us to understand how it was constructed. In digital modeling, it usually remains hidden beneath the final appearance, but it also possesses its own visual language that has extended to design, architecture, and contemporary art.
Wireframe meshes allow you to simultaneously display the exterior and the structure of a figure. In this way, what is normally hidden during the creative process becomes the true protagonist of the work.
A three-dimensional coin that breaks with the traditional format
LADY WATERFALL translates this technological language into a physical and traditional material like silver. The female face retains soft and recognizable features, but appears traversed by a grid that carefully follows its curves, changes direction, and deforms according to the volume of the head.

The combination creates a striking contrast between the naturalness of the human face and the mathematical precision of the lines. Depending on the viewing angle, the mesh appears to compress, open, or shift across the surface, generating a constantly changing appearance.
The blue enamel completely surrounds the sculpture and acts as a watery surface. Its deep tones and reflections contrast with the antique finish of the silver, visually separating the figure from the base and making it appear to emerge from the water.
The figure's posture itself reinforces this feeling. With her eyes closed and her face turned upwards, the woman conveys calm, introspection, and a certain impression of weightlessness. She seems to be surrendering to the movement of the water or emerging from it in a moment suspended in time.
The design doesn't literally depict a waterfall. Instead, it reinterprets its movement through vertical filaments that descend from the head and continue around the neck. The lines are reminiscent of cascading water that falls and crisscrosses before reaching the blue surface at the base.
From this union the name LADY WATERFALL is born. The female figure and the waterfall do not appear as two separate elements, but are integrated into a single sculptural structure: the face becomes geometry and the geometry ends up flowing into the water.
The antique finish applied to the silver accentuates the deeper areas of the mesh and allows each line to be more clearly distinguished. It also adds greater definition to the facial contours and prevents the structure from losing detail despite the extraordinary complexity of its latticework.
REVERSE
The reverse of the coin features a female face in the center of a blue enameled surface. Viewed from above, the design retains a recognizable circular composition, but perspective reveals how the head gradually emerges from the field.
The woman appears with her eyes closed and a serene expression. Her features remain smooth in certain areas, while the rest of her face is enveloped by a geometric mesh.
OBVERSE
The obverse of the coin adopts a considerably more sober composition. Its design consists of a succession of concentric waves that originate from the center and extend to the edge.
These lines can be interpreted as the ripples created by a drop falling on water, extending onto this side the aquatic concept developed around the female figure. The composition also provides visual continuity to the whole without competing with the sculptural complexity of the reverse.
The Public Seal of Niue is featured in the center of the coin . Surrounding it are the inscriptions "NIUE", "2026", and "2 DOLLARS", corresponding to the issuing country, the year of issue, and the face value of the coin.
