2020 Haka World Cultures 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin

Discover the rich cultural heritage of the Māori with the 2020 Haka World Cultures 2oz Silver Coin

The latest release in the renowned World Cultures series from the Mint of Poland. This series celebrates the most vibrant and striking cultures across the globe, and this third issue beautifully captures the essence of the Haka – a powerful and significant part of Māori tradition.

Embrace the Māori Spirit

The Haka, known for its vigorous movements, rhythmic stamping, and powerful vocalizations, goes beyond being a dance—it’s a significant cultural expression. Traditionally associated with the battle preparations of Māori warriors, the Haka today is performed on various occasions, including welcoming guests, celebrating great achievements, and honouring funerals.

Cultural Significance

Internationally recognised through New Zealand’s sports teams, especially the All Blacks rugby union team, the Haka transcends the sports fields, embedding itself as a symbol of unity, strength, and identity. Its global awareness, however, also opens dialogues about cultural appropriation and respect for indigenous traditions.

Coin Features

• 2 ounces of fine silver, celebrating the third edition in the World Cultures series.
• Intricately designed, capturing the dynamic essence of the Haka.
• A meaningful addition for collectors appreciating global cultural heritage.

This coin is not just a collector’s item; it’s a testament to the enduring spirit and cultural richness of the Māori people. A piece that resonates with history, emotion, and artistry.
