October is the month of continuations of well-known and well-loved series. Many of you have been waiting for the next meteorite coin or the next famous explorer. See what we have prepared for you.

5$ Hiroshima - Human Tragedies

The second coin of the series "Human Tragedies". The series depicts disasters that have shaken humanity.

6 August 1945. The Americans launched an atomic attack on Hiroshima and three days later on Nagasaki. The aim of the raid was to force the Japanese to sign a deed of unconditional surrender. As a result of the attack, both cities were almost completely destroyed and at least 140,000 people were killed. However, the number of casualties is far higher due to the radiation sickness that affected the survivors. The dropping of the atomic bombs by the Americans led to Japanese Emperor Hirohito's decision to surrender unconditionally and thus end World War II. 

The reverse of the coin depicts a pilot's mask reflecting the scene of a bomb drop on a Japanese city. The high relief makes all the details visible. Selected parts of the coin glow in the dark! This alludes to people's ideas about the appearance of radioactive substances. At the bottom is the date of the attack.

The obverse of the coin, on the other hand, features the Niue coat of arms, information on the denomination, the silver sample and the year of issue. The destroyed city is visible in the background. The coin is packaged in an elegant wooden box, along with a certificate of authenticity. The mintage is limited to 500 pieces only! 

5$ Marco Polo - Famous Explorers

The second coin in the wonderful "Famous Explorers" series, which brings us closer to the world of the pioneers of distant travel.

Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant, explorer and writer who travelled through Asia along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295. His travels are recorded in The Travels of Marco Polo (also known as Book of the Marvels of the World and Il Milione, c. 1300), a book that described to Europeans the then mysterious culture and inner workings of the Eastern world, including the wealth and great size of the Mongol Empire and China in the Yuan Dynasty, giving their first comprehensive look into China, Persia, India, Japan and other Asian cities and countries.

The reverse of the coin features Marco Polo. The Winter Palace of the Bogd Khan located in Ulaanbaatar is placed in the background. Next to Marco Polo, a caravan can be seen as well as the Khan in a tent, who is talking to Marco Polo's uncle or father. The coin is decorated with a 3D insert in the form of a book, which has been hand-painted with the greatest attention to detail.

The obverse of the coin shows Queen Elizabeth II, the denomination, the issuing country and the bullion sample. To the right of the obverse is the war palace of Kubilai Khan. 

Together with a certificate of authenticity, our coin is available in an elegant wooden box and themed packaging. The entire set forms a matching composition.

5$ Milky Way - Universe

We present the third coin of the "Universe" series, which depicts unusual elements of the cosmos. This time the coin focuses on the theme of a milky way. 

The Milky Way is the galaxy that includes our Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye. The term Milky Way is a translation of the Latin via lactea, from the Greek γαλακτικός κύκλος (galaktikos kýklos), meaning "milky circle". From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis, observations by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies.

The reverse of the coin shows a colourful representation of the appearance of a milky way. A real piece of meteorite is placed in the centre of the coin. The reverse of the coin is concave.

The mintage of the coin is limited to 500 pieces only. The coin comes packed with a certificate of authenticity in an elegant wooden box.
