Penguin Bigwig 1 oz Silver 2020
The Bigwig Penguin or the first ever silver bullion coin - Premium Bullion - minted by New Zealand Post in partnership with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and Metal Market Europe !
The representative of the first bullion coin will be the chub penguin - a once distinctive representative of New Zealand fauna. And the entire series, of which the aforementioned penguin is a part, will focus on species that once inhabited New Zealand territories, now all of which have been declared extinct.
The silver bullion coin, Crested Penguin - Crested Penguin has been produced in one troy ounce weight with 99.9% pure bullion content. It is a specimen that has a serrated edge, its diameter is 40 mm, and the denomination is 1 New Zealand dollar. Although Crested Penguin is an investment product, it is also a Premium Bullion product with a limited mintage of only 25,000 pieces. It is worth mentioning that such a low overburden is a real treat for anyone looking for unique assets that not only affect the diversification quality of the investment portfolio, but also the uniqueness of the collection. In addition, each piece showing the chub penguin is packaged in its original cap and includes a numbered certificate of authenticity.
Reverse silver coin is decorated with an image of a pair of chub penguins, standing on a rock against the backdrop of the ocean. In the background of the main image, you can also see the New Zealand "koru" pattern referring to the shape of a coiled fern leaf. The entire design is surrounded by the inscription "Chatman Island Crested Penguin." Dave Burkle is responsible for the reverse design.
Obverse introduces Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, designed by Ian Rank- Broadley. In addition, the obverse features information about the issuer's country, weight, pure silver content and date of issue.
