2018 Tokelau $5 1-oz Silver Wisdom of Owls: Scops Owl NGC PF70UC
Something to Hoot About! The FIRST Release in “Wisdom of Owls” Silver Coin Series!
You don’t have to be a wise old owl to figure out that this latest release from Tokelau is destined to be a highly collectible coin series. The FIRST release in the Pacific island state’s “Wisdom of Owls” silver coin series, the 2018 Scops Owl One-Ounce Silver Proof is a magnificent coin that is as limited as it is beautiful.
Featuring an intricate stylized image of a Scops Owl, this unusually large, 65 mm legal-tender $5 coin kicks off the new series in epic fashion. Struck in highly-pure 99.9% silver, the engaging design pays tribute to the Scops Owl, the most widespread genus of owls in Eurasia. Its scientific name Otus scops, means “eared watcher,” and this serious-looking grey-brown fellow is instantly recognizable by its exceptionally conspicuous ear tufts, which are prominently displayed on the coin’s design. Just 1,000 of these one-ounce silver proofs will be issued for worldwide release – making it instantly collectible!
In addition, your 2018 Scops Owl One-Ounce Silver Proof has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in perfect Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended! It will also be housed in an NGC acrylic holder with a certifying label.
The owl has always been a creature that sparks the creative imagination. Fascination with these birds and their silent sentential-like appearance has led them to being associated with knowledge and wisdom – in ancient times they were featured on Greek coins along with the goddess Athena. From Hedwig the owl in the Harry Potter series to Mister Know it Owl, the pompous Tootsie Pop-loving owl who devours the candy of unsuspecting children, owls have a long history as prominent characters in literature, film and television. Now, this new series of pure silver owl coins will present these nocturnal birds of prey as you’ve never seen them before!
This is your chance to get on the ground floor with this new release. But, with only 1,000 proofs available in the world, the time to add one of these coins to you collection is now – before other collectors who don’t give a hoot about you snatch them all away! Click one to your cart now!
