Tristan da Cunha, Marco Polo Silvered Crown In Capsule

Columbus discovered more than just America, he discovered the Caribbean Islands as well. This beautiful diamond-shaped Crown from Tristan da Cunha does him great justice. Christopher with wide tricorn hat, sailing ship to his right and ships wheel above is on one side and H.M. Queen Elizabeth II is on the other side. Each coin is in Proof condition and is heavily silver plated to gleam. Then it is put into a diamond shaped plastic display case to help preserve it. Now you can own a most unusual and interesting coin of that great explorer Christopher Columbus for a very competitive price: we doubt that any would be issued today at such a reasonable price.

Captain James Cook on his three voyages to the South Pacific, mapped all of New Zealand, much of the East Coast of Australia, found the Sandwich Islands and South Georgia. He was also the first European to begin formal contact with the Hawaii Islands. This was unfortunate, as when he returned there, there was a terrible fight and he was killed in 1779. This handsome silver plated diamond shaped coin from Tristan da Cunha honours this great explorer. You have Captain James Cook on one side with his sailing ship and a ships wheel behind him. The other side has H.M. the Queen. Each large sized diamond shaped crown comes in a unique heavy plastic capsule to protect the proof surface. A great man and a wonderful coin, what more could you ask for?

These small silver coins were struck in Hungary, part of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE) at the end of the 1500’s. You have a rendition of the Madonna and Child on one side and the date and shield on the other side. We bought these years ago and we understand that what we are asking is about the same price that Hungarian dealers want wholesale. We bought them right; we are going to sell them right. We think they are beautiful little silver coins in very nice condition. They would make excellent gifts. We are starting to run out, our guess is that our price is getting people interested. This 500 year old silver coin in Extremely Fine condition can be yours for an excellent price.
