Assemble a Squadron of Golden Spitfires

Things didn’t look good for the Allies in 1940. Germany had overrun France in just six weeks and were poised to force Great Britain to agree to an armistice or even outright surrender. To gain leverage, Nazi Dictator Adolf Hitler’s vaunted Luftwaffe attempted to bring Britain to its knees with an unrelenting campaign of terror bombing. There was just one thing Hitler hadn’t counted on: the fighting spirit of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and its Spitfire fighter planes.

The Mark I Spitfires, with their superior speed and agility, were sent up to shoot down German fighters. By the end of the battle the better organized RAF downed 1,887 of the 2,600 planes Germany had sent across the English channel. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill summoned up the victory — the first major defeat of Hitler’s military — by saying “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”

Now you can pay tribute to one of the most famous planes of World War II and add some gold to your collection in the process with this gold coin struck by Coin Invest Trust (CIT) in the shape of a Supermarine Spitfire fighter plane! Released on behalf of the Republic of Palau, a nation comprised of 340 islands in the western Pacific Ocean, this delicately engraved legal-tender $1 coin was minted in a half gram of 99.99% pure gold on an ultra-thin planchet. To create this amazing piece, CIT made use of its Big Gold Minting© (BGM) technology that allows tiny amounts of gold to be struck into relatively large sizes.

In addition, each Palau Half-Gram Gold Airplane Shaped Coin available in this offer will come in beautiful Specimen (SP) condition, meaning that they feature a combination of satin and proof-like finishes. Plus, each will come in a capsule with a specialized insert that holds it securely in place. Just 15,000 of these Spitfire-shaped coins have been issued for worldwide release. And at this price, you can assemble a whole squadron to add to your collection!
