2022 Cook Islands $25 5-oz Silver Seven Summits Mount Vinson Ultra High Relief Colorized Coin NGC MS70

Gorgeous Coin Pays Tribute To The World’s Coldest Mountain

Though not the tallest mountain in the world, Antarctica’s Mount Vinson is one of the most treacherous for the combination of its remoteness, wind-blown snow, and bone-freezing temperatures. Rising to a height of 16,050 feet, Mount Vinson has been conquered by 1,200 climbers since it was first ascended in 1966. By way of contrast, Mount Everest has been climbed 11,346 times by 6,098 climbers as of July 2022. While climbing Mount Vinson is not technically difficult, any ascent of the frozen massif depends largely on the weather and the logistics of planning the trip.

Mount Vinson Literally Towers Off The Surface Of This Coin

This stunning coin—the seventh and final release of the Seven Summit Series—features a dramatic colorized depiction of Mount Vinson that literally towers off the surface. It was struck by the esteemed Mayer Mint in Germany, using patented Smartminting© technology developed by CIT that allows designs to be struck in incredible Ultra High Relief (UHR) with extraordinary precise detail—all without reducing the coin’s diameter! Released on behalf of the Cook Islands, a nation made up of 15 islands in the South Pacific Ocean, this legal tender $25 coin was struck in five ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. Plus, each coin available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in flawless Uncirculated Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded coins have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. Each will be accompanied by a mint-issued Certificate of Authenticity and its original mint packaging.

The World’s Most Expensive Mountain

Climbing Mount Vinson is a challenge at any time, but the best time to tackle the final jewel on the world’s list of Seven Summits is possible only between November and March, and climbing Mount Vinson is advised between only December and February—Antarctica’s summer period, when the days are 24 hours long. “Summer,” is a relative term, however, as temperatures during this period are far from balmy with the average temperature this time of year ranging between 10 and 25 degrees Fahrenheit. In early November, temperatures are as low as 22 degrees below zero and commonly fall to 40 degrees below zero during extreme storms. Mount Vinson was the last of the Seven Summits to be discovered, the last to be named, and the last one climbed. It’s also the most remote, most expensive, and coldest of the Seven Summits to climb.
