Kiwi colored 1 oz Silver 2016 Proof
Silver Kiwi Colored 1 Ounce Silver Coin 2016 Proof is quite a treat for collectors looking for unique pieces. The 2016 coin, which is shaped like an egg, depicts the Spotted Kwi, which is an endemic species of the kiwi family that inhabits the northern part of the South Island in New Zealand.
The 2016 kiwi coin was produced from pure fine silver, weighing one troy ounce and measuring 34mm x 45mm. This is a coin that was minted by BH Mayer's Kunstprageanstalt GmbH, commissioned by New Zealand Post. Importantly, the 2016 silver kiwi has a strictly limited run of 2,500 units.
It is also worth mentioning that the kiwi is a New Zealand coin series that has been minted on behalf of the New Zealand Post since 2004. It is a series that revolves around a bird, a flightless bird that lives in New Zealand. In addition, as in the case of many other series, the image of the titular fly changes annually, so that the value and uniqueness of the coins increases from year to year.
Reverse depicts the spotted kiwi against the background of its natural environment. The lower part of the reverse with its shape and color imitates a piece of eggshell.
Obversethe coins are decorated with an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown and include information about the date of issue and the issuing country.
