2025 Solomon Islands $10 5-oz Silver Mapping History 17th Century 2-pc Proof Set

Navigate The World With These Gorgeous Nautical Map-Themed Coins

Imagine traveling across the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans without GPS or a smart phone while aboard a leaky wooden vessel and not on one of today's cruise ships fueled by a high-powered diesel-electric propulsion system. Seems pretty daunting, right? But that's just what the early mariners did during the Age of Exploration. The only thing they had to work with were crude maps depicting the Western and Western Hemispheres. Those 17th century maps are the theme of this wonderfully crafted two-piece set that replicates the maps used by such explorers as Samuel de Champlain, Giovanni da Verrazzano, and Henry Hudson, whose voyages played a crucial role in expanding European knowledge of the world and laid the groundwork for further exploration and colonization.

Faithful Reproductions Of One Of The One Of The Most Expensive Atlases Of The 17th Century

Each coin in this set was struck in five Troy ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver with one coin showing a 17th century map of the Eastern Hemisphere and the other showing a 17th century map of the Western Hemisphere. Together, these coins are faithful reproductions of one of the most expensive atlases of the 17th century! And, at 108 mm in diameter–that's more than 4¼ inches–they reveal every detail known to the mapmakers of that time. This is your chance to step back into the pages of history and chart a new course in your personal collection!
