Euro Collections International - The Home of World Coins
AT185 - Tuvalu 2012 $1 Mayflower 1oz Silver Proof
|  |
The third issue of the
Ships that Changed
the World Series, the
2012 $1 Mayflower
1oz Silver Proof has
just been launched
by the Perth Mint! A
stunning tribute to one
of the world’s most
celebrated vessels,
this outstanding
precious metal Proof
may well be the most
sought after of the
entire series – in
large part due to
its naturally strong
appeal to American
audiences.
Transporting English
puritans fleeing
religious persecution
from Plymouth in
England to America in
1620, the Mayflower
is one of the most
powerful symbols of
European colonisation
of the US. Following
a harsh first winter,
and the outbreak of
disease that killed half
of the approximately
130 passengers and
crew, the survivors
who made Plymouth
Massachusetts their
home are recognised as
the earliest permanent
European settlers
to New England.
A fine tribute
to this iconic
element
of US
history, the
40.60mm
flan of
this new
.999 Silver
Proof
bears
a fully
struck-up
depiction of
the Mayflower
in full sail, set
against a fullcolour
backdrop.
With the 2009 $1
Famous Battles
Gettysburg Silver
Proof sold out in a
flash, there seems little
doubt that US interest
in the Mayflower tribute
will see the mintage
of 5,000 placed under
extreme pressure. A
must-have for those
keen on assembling the
complete 5-coin set,
we have secured only
a small allocation of
coins – each set in an
official Perth Mint
case united with
a numbered
Certificate of
Authenticity.
