Gold is the world’s most recognizable precious metal commodity, and has played a role in peaceful economic expansion and wartime conquest throughout the course of human history. A brand-new offering from Coin Jewels combines .999 pure silver with actual flakes of 24-karat gold in a unique product that celebrates gold rushes from around the world. The 2016 1 oz Proof Niue Silver Gold Rushes of the World California Coin is available today from JM Bullion.

Each of these unique coins features a transparent capsule in the coin’s design that contains a genuine leaf of 24-karat gold. It is beautifully integrated into the design that features on the coin’s reverse. This patented design is exclusive to Coin Jewels and allows collectors to have a piece of gold with a greater purity than that found by prospectors in nature.

On the reverse face of the coin is the image of a lone prospector kneeling by the side of a creek, working his pan in hopes of finding an elusive nugget of gold. Engravings on this face identify the world gold rush represented, “California Gold Rush 1848.” The California Gold Rush drew hundreds of thousands of Americans from the East Coast to California, boosting population centers on the West Coast, and filling the coffers of the federal government and individuals alike.

The obverse face of the coin feature the same transparent capsule and its leaf of 24-karat gold. Engravings on this face identify the nation of issue (Niue), year of issue, face value, weight, and purity of the coin itself. Included in the design is the popular right-profile of Queen Elizabeth II.
