Delve into the rich cultural and geographical tapestry of New Zealand with the 2020 Te Riu-a-Maui Zealandia Silver Proof Coin Set . This extraordinary set is more than just legal tender; it’s a symbol of New Zealand’s unique heritage and the mythical lore of Māui, an ancestor revered across Polynesia.
Each coin in this set features a stunning three-dimensional, colour-printed map of New Zealand’s North and South Islands. The koru designs, a significant motif in Māori art, border the maps, symbolising the ocean currents that shroud most of Te Riu-a-Māui/Zealandia, the largely submerged continent of New Zealand.
The name Te Riu-a-Māui translates to the hills, valleys, and plains of Māui. It’s a tribute to the legendary figure of Māui, who, according to Polynesian narratives, sailed and explored the Pacific, fishing up the North Island, known as Te Ika-a-Māui. This set brings these stories to life, melding them with geological science in a striking visual representation.
• Exclusive Mintage : Limited to only 400 sets globally, making it a rare and valuable addition to any collection.
• Premium Presentation : Housed in a sophisticated wooden box with a bathymetric image inlay of the continent, this set is a collector’s delight.
• Certified Authenticity : Accompanied by a numbered certificate, detailing the narrative of the world’s eighth continent.
