“The Birth of Venus”. ORIGINAL GOVERNMENT PACKAGING SEEN IN PHOTOS.

A pivotal figure in Australian history is brought to life in this terrific set, at the 250th anniversary of the voyage that put him in the history books. This breathtaking tribute to Captain James Cook is underpinned by limited availability, superb presentation and, most of all, exquisite Ultra High Relief quality. Good enough to give away – if you can bear to! – the tremendous 2018 Captain Cook Silver High Relief 1oz Proof coin is destined to delight the select few lucky enough to own it. The depth and detail in the superbly balanced motifs is exceptional. The designs seem to leap from the face of the coins! In addition to the Ultra High Relief strike, the design found on each coin is enhanced by multiple finishes – creating a stirring depiction of the tale of Captain Cook’s iconic first Voyage of Discovery that, quite simply, must be seen to be believed. James Cook was largely unknown when appointed to command the HMS Bark Endeavour on an expedition to the Pacific in 1768. The stated objective of the mission was to sail to Tahiti to observe the Transit of Venus – but that was only part of the story. Cook also received some additional, secret orders: find the fabled Great South Land. Cook completed his astronomical observations in 1769 and set sail for home. Cook and his party subsequently claimed the east coast for Britain, charting 2,000 miles of the continent in the process. Thanks to the cutting-edge Numismatic techniques employed throughout this set, the magnificent reverse designs on each Proof allow you to relive key milestones of that first voyage in incredible detail. You can almost feel the wind pushing against the Endeavour’s sails as she sets off in her full glory in 1768. A much gentler clime awaits in balmy Tahiti as you witness his observations of Venus: calm seas and palm trees dotted in the background give a tremendous sense of perspective. And arguably the most triumphant moment of Cook’s career – quite literally, putting Australia on the map – is superbly realised through the stark contrast of glassy, mirror-like surfaces and sharply-hewn, fine details. Individually, each Proof is a tremendous work of modern minting. That’s when the magic truly happens. Fine silver coin 38.60mm diameter. Strictly limited to just 500 worldwide. The coin comes in capsule, No box or CoA. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as “gifts” – US and International government regulations prohibit such.
