Well known as the tallest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest was first charted by Westerners in 1852 but was not officially climbed until 1953 - more than a century later! A treacherous journey, the ascent up Everest has led to more tragedy than success, which makes that initial climb by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary so much more impressive.
Impressive in its own right, this two ounce, 99.9% pure silver collector coin honours the 70th anniversary of the first ascent, with a cracking high relief, double sided design. On one side a high relief representation of Everest itself. And, on the other, the two famous climbers on their way to the peak.
