Coin highlights

Contains 2 oz of .9999 fine Silver.
Comes packaged in a maroon clamshell beauty box from the mint.
Limited mintage of only 4,000 coins.
Obverse: Right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the year and face value.
Reverse: The image presents the underwater scene as viewed from a deep water reef, looking up toward the turquoise waters of the surface. The brightly colored marine life includes a large Atolla jellyfish, several yelloweye rockfish, and a highfin dragonfish swimming among and above soft and hard corals and other vertebrate and invertebrate organisms along the upward-curving sea floor.
The beautiful scene takes on an entirely new life, however, when illuminated under a black light. As the rocky background fades to darkness, the bioluminescence of many of the species is revealed, glowing in blues, greens, pinks, and oranges.
With a mintage limited to only 4,000 and a highly desirable reverse design, this coin is sure to sell out quickly. Add this coin to your cart today!
