About Beth Zaiken

With her intricate designs and clear passion for the subject matter, artist Beth Zaiken is well known among numismatists. Her skills and interests have led her to numerous high-profile projects for the United States Mint, including multiple commemorative coin and medal designs. She’s also an award-winning illustrator who has completed projects for the Smithsonian, San Diego Zoo, and the New York State Museum, among others. In addition, Zaiken’s illustrations have been featured in world renowned publications, including Nature and the Scientific American.

Most of Zaiken’s illustrations showcase her lifelong fascination with the animal kingdom, from tiny invertebrates to large mammals to the extinct creatures that once roamed the earth. Her passion comes through in each brush stroke, and all of her projects demonstrate an ingrained love of the natural world. For these reasons, Zaiken was an obvious choice to illustrate our latest Aurum series. We reached out to her in the early days of developing this series, and we were overjoyed to receive an enthusiastic “yes” when we asked her to participate.
