Grab a Taste of Freedom with Blue Skies & Tailwinds

The world seems like a small place today where computers and cell phones can connect to us to anyone in the world at a moment’s notice. But there’s still one place remaining where individuals can experience freedom and truly fly by the seat of their pants: in the cockpit of an airplane flying according to visual flight rules. Before each solo flight, tradition calls for pilots to wish each other good luck with the phrase, “Blue Skies and Tailwinds.” That phrase is now captured on this spectacular proof minted in high relief.

Struck in two full ounces of highly-pure 99.9% silver by Coin Invest Trust (CIT), the design features an image of an airplane as if it were flying straight towards you, its propellers spinning in rhythmic beauty. You can see the blades stretch to the edge of the coin with the plane’s cockpit behind them. The design also includes a compass scale in the background and the inscription that reads “BLUE SKIES & TAILWINDS.”

CIT is famous for creating coins quite unlike anything else on the market — and that certainly includes this 2020 Two-Ounce High Relief Silver Propeller coin. Released on behalf of the Cook Islands, the background of this aviation-themed $10 legal-tender coin has been given a luxurious black proof finish, allowing the highly polished propeller blades to rise from the surface in a perfect blend of Ultra High Relief (UHR) Smartminting© technology and elaborate finishes.

Limited to just 999 pieces worldwide, this high relief coin is a must-have for anyone who has ever dreamed of taking off into the wild blue yonder. Plus, each will come in its original government packaging. Capture the freedom of open skies; spread your wings and fly with the 2020 Cook Islands Two-Ounce Silver Airplane Propeller Ultra High Relief Black Proof!

TRIBUTE TO THE FREEDOM OF FLIGHT – The freedom of flight is celebrated with a design dominated by the propeller of an airplane with the plane’s cockpit behind it. The design also includes a compass scale in the background and the inscription “BLUE SKIES & TAILWINDS.” The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse.

UNIQUE BLACK PROOF ULTRA HIGH RELIEF DETAIL – This coin is the result of a combination of Ultra High Relief (UHR) smartminting© technology with the Black Proof technique that contrasts between the high relief and mirrored surfaces.
