Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to show you a special coin and share some interesting details about it.
This coin was issued on August 6, 2022, and was designed by Dave Burke from Tauranga, New Zealand. It was minted by the Commonwealth Mint in the UK.
Now, let’s talk about the inspiration behind this coin: the Black Ferns. The Black Ferns are one of the most successful teams in international rugby, boasting a winning percentage of nearly 90 percent since the team was founded. They have won five Rugby World Cups.
In 2017, the Black Ferns made history by becoming the first-ever women’s team to be named the World Rugby Team of the Year. As New Zealand’s world-class women’s rugby team prepared to wear the black jersey on the world’s biggest stage at the 2021 Rugby World Cup, NZ Post decided to celebrate their achievements with this commemorative coin.
This coin is limited to just 1,000 pieces worldwide, making it highly collectible. It comes with an official certificate of authenticity and is packaged in a bleck box.
This 1oz silver coin features a powerful Māori art illustration of a rugby player, symbolizing the strength and spirit of the women in the champion team. She is accompanied by a silver fern, and the Black Ferns logo is prominently displayed below. The coin has a fine proof finish, and selective enamel has been used to depict the iconic black uniform of New Zealand’s national rugby teams.
Now, let’s go over some specifications of this coin:
• The metal is 999 fine silver.
• It is officially licensed.
• The diameter is 38.6mm with a milled edge.
• The denomination is $1, and the year of issue is 2022.
• It weighs 1 troy ounce.
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed learning about this beautiful coin and the incredible team it honors.
