The Christopher Columbus 2 oz Fine Silver Coin marks the second release in the new Journeys of Discovery Coin Collection by New Zealand Mint. This exciting collection celebrates exploration and discovery of the unknown. Genoese explorer and navigator Christopher Columbus (1451 - 1506), 'the man who discovered America', is featured on this new release. This antique-finished, fully engraved and high-relief engraved coin depicts the exhilarating moment Christopher Columbus first lands on a beach in the New World in 1492. The packaging of a protective draw string sack has been designed to model the transport materials to trade around the globe at that time. With a worldwide limited mintage of just 2,000 coins, this would make a special gift for coin collectors and inspire intrepid travellers on their own Journeys of Discovery.
