Minnaar - The Art of the Sovereign

What Is a Minnaar? A Minnaar is a work of art created by Steven Minnaar to advance the ideas of Sovereign Individualism. Each work is scarce, collectible, verifiable, and exchangeable for other works within the collection. Minnaars are denominated in Sovereigns—a reference unit benchmarked to one ounce of silver—which forms the foundation for expressing value across the collection. How to Acquire a Minnaar Minnaars are not for sale and can only be acquired by loan or trade. Here's how: You may acquire a Minnaar from a private collector and trade it in for one of equal value, or borrow one from the collection by placing a deposit of one ounce of silver, or equivalent value, per Sovereign. You may enjoy the work in your home until you are ready to exchange it for another or return it to the collection and receive your deposit back. Explore the categories below, then contact Steven to inquire about a work or schedule a studio visit.
