2019 Fiji $5 5-oz Silver Eagle with Black Ruthenium NGC Gem Proof – Black Core

A New Eagle Takes to Black Skies

When a world exclusive like this comes along, you don't hesitate; you grab as many as you can. So, when we heard about this brand-new Five-Ounce Silver Black Eagle coin featuring designs from former U.S. Mint designer Joel Iskowitz, we secured the exclusive rights to the entire mintage!

The designer of more than 50 coins and medals for the U.S. Mint, including the 2008 Bald Eagle, 2011 Medal of Honor $5 reverse, and 2015 U.S. Marshals Service Half Dollar reverse, Iskowitz is also the only American to have ever designed a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II to appear on a coin. For this 2019-dated coin struck by Great Britain's prestigious Commonwealth Mint for the Republic of Fiji, Iskowitz and his talents soared to new heights. The obverse of this new silver coin features a close-up profile of an eagle along with the Fiji Coat of Arms while the reverse shows the dramatic image of an eagle, talons extended, coming in for the attack.

Struck in five ounces of highly-pure 99.9% silver with a mirrored Proof finish, your coin comes lavished in Black Ruthenium, a rare transition metal belonging to the platinum group of the periodic table. The addition of the Ruthenium gives the coin an appearance of a blackened background, further accentuating the detailed beauty of a majestic eagle.

In addition, 2019 Fiji Eagle with Black Ruthenium Five-Ounce Silver Proof has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in gorgeous Gem Proof-condition meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. It will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a black display core.
