Singapore-based bullion coin dealer SK Bullion has taken things to the next step with the launch of their first collectible silver coin. The debut issue in a new series called The Beasts Skull, these two-ounce fine silver coins look at some of the endangered wildlife species that populate the Asian subcontinent. First to be depicted is that most magnificent of beasts, the Lion, a creature that suffers in the region because of the backwards beliefs of fraudulent medical practitioners that their body parts bring benefits to the body and soul. Complete rubbish of course, it merely serving to wipe out many wildlife species and make people richer. Issued for Niue, the obverse is a more standard affair and features the Ian Rank Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by the usual inscriptions detailing denomination, issuer, date etc. The whole coin is obviously antiqued a popular choice in modern numismatics. Packaging looks to be of a very high quality. A gloos black wooden box hold sthe coin and the certificate of authenticity, and it all sits is a stylish themed outer shipper. 999 Weight: 2 Oz – 62.2g Diameter: 40 mm Finish: Antique Finish, High Relief Mintage: 500 Pcs Worldwide Certificate COA: Yes Box: Yes.
