The Vasco da Gama 2 oz Silver Coin marks the third release in the Journeys of Discovery Coin Collection by New Zealand Mint. This exciting collection celebrates exploration and discovery of the unknown.
Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama led an expedition to find a sea route from Portugal to India, exploring unchartered waters and making the longest ocean voyage of its time.
This antique-finished, fully engraved and high-relief 2 oz silver coin captures the exciting moment of Vasco da Gama landing in Calicut, India for the first time on May 20, 1498.
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 only 2,000 coins, this would make a special gift for coin collectors and inspire intrepid travelers on their own Journeys of Discovery. Start or add to your Journeys of Discovery coin collection today.
