New Zealand - 2016 - Silver Dollar Proof Coin - Honey Bee
2016 New Zealand $1 Silver Proof Coin - Honey Bee
Mintage: 1,500
Just like the industrious honey bee, this 1oz silver proof coin has a lot to offer.
Highlights:
- Minted from 0.999 silver with selective colour
- Features honeycomb partially filled with resin - replicating real honey
- Limited worldwide mintage of just 1,500
- Unique honeycomb shape
- Each coin includes a unique numbered certificate
Design:
The hexagonal shape of the coin is based on a cell of honeycomb in a hive. In the honey-making process, worker bees build a honeycomb structure of cells where nectar and pollen are stored, and larvae develop.
The honey bee is brought to life on the coin with three-dimensional engraving and colour printing. It's depicted sitting on the honeycomb, which has been partially filled with translucent amber-coloured resin - replicating real honey!
