The New Zealand Mint is famous for producing a number of coins highlighting endangered species throughout the South Pacific region. Without question, the most popular coin in that series has been the Hawksbill Turtle Coin. Right now, you can obtain your own 2013 1 oz New Zealand $2 Fiji Taku coin from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Hawksbill turtles are native to the South Pacific, as well as other regions in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. Each year, these endangered sea turtles make an incredible journey from the shores of Fiji to the shallow waters surrounding the northern tip of New Zealand. Hawksbill turtles have a beautiful, defining feature: their shells. Brightly colored and overlapping, the turtle’s shell is a wonder of nature.
These sea turtles are honored on the Fiji Taku as a critically endangered species. Human activity, from the consumption of hawksbill eggs to the collection of their ornate shells, has pushed the creature to the brink of extinction. Taku is the name of the hawksbill turtle in local dialects.
On the reverse side of each coin is the image of the hawksbill turtle as it swims through the bubbles of the Pacific Ocean. The obverse side of the coin bears a unique image for a coin in this series: the Fiji coat of arms. In this image, a small sailing vessel is included atop the coat of arms as a tribute to the nation’s seafaring past.
Each of the coins available in this product listing has a near-perfect grade from the NGC. This grade indicates a coin with its full, original luster and no more than two minor detracting flaws. These marks are not visible within the primary focal areas of the coin.
