2021 Cook Islands $5 1/2-gm Gold Terracotta Warriors Ultra High Relief Proof
Let the Terracotta Warriors Guard Your Collection
Buried for more than 2,000 years, the famous Terracotta Army is considered one of the greatest archeological discoveries of the 20th century. Uncovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well near the city of Xi’an in China’s Shaanxi province, the army consists of 8,000 life-size sculptures, created to serve as guard in the afterlife for China’s first emperor — Quin Shihuang (259-210 B.C.). Now, nearly 50 years after their discovery, the Terracotta Army can be yours, thanks to this stunning coin struck by Germany’s famous Mayer Mint.
One of the Greatest Archaeological Sites In The World
Using patented Coin Invest trust (CIT) Smartminting® Ultra High Relief technology, each coin available here was struck in a half gram of highly pure 99.99% gold. This coin displays three unique Terracotta Army soldiers on the reverse while the coin’s obverse depicts a chariot pulled by horses. Considered one of the greatest archaeological sites in the world, the find was praised as the Eighth Wonder of the World and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It ranks alongside the Great Wall and Beijing’s Forbidden City as one of the premier tourist attractions in all of China. It’s also believed the warriors may have been based on actual soldiers. Facial features, beards, and other distinguishing qualities make it so that no statue is exactly alike!
Exquisite Ultra High Relief Adds to Gem Proof Finish
The Ultra High Relief designs on these coins are so incredible that is almost looks the trio of soldiers depicted on the coin’s reverse are about to step off the face of the coin and join your personal army! Plus, each coin available here comes in 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.
