Ring-Shaped 2 ounce Silver Coins from Tokelau

As you may know from my different lenses I am a coin gatherer/collector and revel in imparting my enthusiasm for the diversion. The lens is dedicated to a standout amongst the myriad of lunar coins in the market.

Starting in 2013 the Island country of Tokelau requisitioned the BH Mayer's Kunstprageanstalt Gmbh mint in Germany to generate an exceptional arrangement of Doughnut formed specimens offering the Chinese lunar schedule of creatures. They were to be two troy ounces of .999 Ag and ring-molded with a gap in the focal point. The proposition was to have an amazing bullion collectible showcase currency and characteristic an alternate colorized lunar creature every year of the cycle. The charming shape on top of the constrained mintage of 2500 has seen the arrangement shoot to immediate notoriety and furnish introductory speculators in them with good looking returns.

For the 2013 inaugural issue the offered creature was a serpent with the front-side of the coin bearing the National Seal of Tokelau. Initially collectors did not know so much about the new series so the ultimate mintage did not even reach the miniscule 2500 limit set. The items and photographs in the lens are from my individual gathering. I trust you will revel in the review!

Discharged in March the crushing new Carousel of Horse looks to be an extraordinary expansion to the line of coins. In the outline of aged Chinese money, this issue emphasizes four bright merry go round steeds. Each one stallion is designed in stylized clothing beautifying the seat, bridle, and stirrups. Stately steeds like this are an image of flourishing and exceptionally regular in artistic creations, carvings and figures.

Each example will feature an obverse image incorporating the IRB effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the words 'Elizabeth II', 'Tokelau', the date, 2014, the national flag and the monetary denomination, Ten Dollars.

For the 2014 release a hallmark was added to the Obverse stating the purity and Two Troy ounce size of the issue.
