1 Oz Chautauqua Through That Door Series No. 9 Cease Round PF

There are nine rounds issued in the Through That Door series by Chautauqua Silver Works.  This thought-provoking series deals with life's challenges.  Mintages for the series were 2,500 for each issue.  This is the ninth round in the series.  The rounds are minted with a proof-like finish.

Obverse: The design on the obverse portrays nine doors in an arching pattern above the field; door number nine is open. Below, a book lies open to the ninth chapter. The left page states “Through That Door – Chapter Nine”, while the opposite page of the book reads, "Release T.I.M.E. - The cosmic journey has just begun". This last round in the series portrays death. A pair of feet with a toe tag bearing the initials "RWK" is depicted below the book. A micro-inscription below the feet pays homage to the designer's brother. The inscription reads "REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER 1953-2019". A smoking candle is shown on the right. At the top, the word “CEASE” is inscribed with keys on either side, and “NO.9” is inscribed at the bottom.

Inside the bullseye, the inscription "BULLSEYE AG 47" can be found. The weight, purity, and content of "ONE OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER" surround the bullseye. The upper inscription bears the name of the mint "CHAUTAUQUA SILVER WORKS",  and the lower inscription contains the motto "ONE MORE OUNCE, ONE LESS FETTER".
