The Ferdinand Magellan 2 oz Fine Silver Coin marks the fourth release in the Journeys of Discovery Coin Collection by New Zealand Mint. This exciting collection celebrates exploration and discovery of the unknown.
Portuguese navigator and explorer Ferdinand Magellan (1480 - 1521), is recognised as the man who led a fleet of Spanish ships on what is regarded as the ‘first circumnavigation of the world’. This intricate antique-finished, fully and high-relief engraved coin depicts the moment Magellan became fatally involved in a tragic local dispute, in the Philippines on 27 April 1521.The packaging of a protective draw string sack has been designed to model the transport materials used 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.
