2018 Niue 5 Ounce $10 Silver Great Barrier Reef Proof

Gorgeous Silver Proof Shows What REAL Reefer Madness Looks Like!

Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system. In fact, it’s so large that it can be seen from outer space! To pay tribute to this iconic natural wonder, the island nation of Niue has released a spectacular high relief silver proof that has proven to be so popular that it’s already sold out at the mint!

The 2018 Niue Great Barrier Reef High Relief Silver Proof is struck in five ounces of 99.9% silver and features selective 24-karat gold plating on a variety of the sea creatures depicted on the coin – the coin’s designers have incorporated no less than 15 individual creatures into the design! At 65 mm in diameter, this large legal-tender coin has ample room to display these denizens of the Great Barrier Reef – Australia’s Natural Wonder.

The Great Barrier Reef is located in the Coral Sea off the east coast of Australia. It actually consists of more than 2,900 individual reefs in an area of 133,000 square miles. The reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. Named a World Heritage Site in 1981, the reef’s azure waters and colorful coral support a wide diversity of life. But despite laws that limit human contact with the reef, people along with other environmental pressures have sadly combined to damage the natural wonder. In fact, according to one recent study, the reef has lost more than half its coral cover since 1985.

Whether you are smack in the middle of the American Heartland or on a boat sailing across the Pacific Ocean, now you can immerse yourself in the beauty of Australia's Natural Wonder with the 2018 Niue Great Barrier Reef Five-Ounce Silver Proof. Your proof will come beautifully displayed in a wood presentation box and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity. Avoid disappointment and secure yours today!
