Get Set for Turtle Mania!

No, we're not bringing back a certain 1960's pop group that was so "Happy Together" (so no need to cue the screaming groupies)! We mean, of course, turtle coins! One of the most popular of all numismatic animals, terrapins are featured on all of the gold and silver gems we present this week, including the new Fiji Gilded Taku Turtle!

Fiji Taku Turtle Coins

Beautiful Fiji Taku Turtle Silver 2 Dollar Coins
The critically-endangered hawksbill sea turtle is featured on these two incredible silver coins from Fiji! These large, impressive coins are artistically rendered in a native Fijian islander style.

2010 Fiji Hawksbill Taku Turtle $2 Gilded Proof2010 Gilded Taku Turtle $2 Proof
This beauty is made all the more desirable by the Mint's execution of this intriguing animal motif in pure silver, intricately engraved in an unexpected, proof finish with highlights in pure, 24-karat gold!

Even more unusual is the presentation and packaging - the coin is encapsulated inside of an elaborate, blue velvet lined round case with a water-filled lid that permits viewing the coin as if through a lens, simulating the turtle swimming beneath the waves! The inner, aqueous box is protected by a round, full color outer box.

2010 Fiji Hawksbill Taku Turtle $2 Gilded Proof in full package

With a highly popular animal theme, gold-plating, the unusual $2 denomination, the striking beauty of the finish, the innovative presentation, and the very low mintage limit of only 5,000, we think you'll be impressed with this affordable pure silver two dollar coin!

Fiji 2010 Hawksbill Turtle $2 1 Ounce Silver2010 Taku Turtle $2 Proof-Like BU
This version of the Taku Hawksbill Sea Turtle coin features an attractive specimen finish. It's much nicer than an ordinary brilliant uncirculated coin - the mirrored design is highlighted on frosted, matte fields (or background). We would therefore refer to this as a "Reverse Proof" or "Reverse Proof-Like" finish.


Turtle Dreaming Rectangular Silver & Gold - 2008 & 2009

Rectangular Turtle Coins from Australia!
The designer of these intriguing, rectangular coins is none other than Darryl Bellotti, who has also designed the Australian Koala coins. He is an indigenous or native Australian, what we call an Aborigine, who for generations untold coexisted with the endemic Australian animals, hunting them as necessary but always respecting their Spirits.

The primary difference between the two years is the finish - the 2008 coins feature a proof finish with a unique shimmer background, while the 2009 coins are reverse proof with matte background.
