2016 2 oz Niue Journeys of Discovery - Charles Darwin .999 Silver Coin

The Charles Darwin 2 oz Silver Coin marks the sixth release in the Journeys of Discovery Coin Collection by New Zealand Mint. This exciting collection celebrates exploration and discovery of the unknown.

Charles Robert Darwin (1809 – 1882) was one of the greatest naturalists of the 19th century, renowned for his contribution to the theory of evolution. During his voyages on the HMS Beagle, he completed extensive field research and developed his novel and revolutionary evolutionary theory.

This antique-finished, fully engraved and high-relief 2 oz silver coin features a tranquil scene of Darwin studying his environment on a remote beach in the Galápagos Islands with iguanas by his feet. The HMS Beagle is moored in the background. In line with the previous releases in this series, the coin is packaged in a high quality wooden case, with protective draw string sack.

With a worldwide limited mintage of only 2,000 coins, this would make a special gift for coin collectors and inspire intrepid travellers on their own Journeys of Discovery. Start or add to your Journeys of Discovery coin collection today.
