Moabit (XX-XXI) - Bored Ape Yacht Club X Mona Lisa’s Smile

A unique 1/1 original currency artwork by contemporary urban pop artist Moabit, created directly on an authentic US one-dollar banknote. The work combines the visual language of the Mona Lisa with imagery associated with the Bored Ape Yacht Club phenomenon, bringing together classical art, digital-era collecting culture and contemporary street art on one of the most recognisable symbols of money in the world. Moabit is known for transforming authentic currency into small-format works that combine street art, pop culture and money art. His recent works continue to explore these themes through characters and symbols drawn from contemporary culture.
