Often described as the most beautiful coin ever produced, the German New Guinea Bird of Paradise 20 Mark was gorgeous. Featuring the titular native bird at full display, plumage out for all to see, this sovereign sized gold issue has become hugely sought after - with some recent auctions seeing prices as high as USD$85,000! This coin then, released by the modern Papua New Guinea, for the 125th anniversary of the original, is a very special release indeed.
Struck in the same size and weight as the original, the 2020 PNG Bird of Paradise is similarly limited to a tiny mintage - just 400 have been produced. And, ALL of that 400 have been sent for independent grading, with only the perfect coins available for general release! That's right, just the Proof 70 (a perfect score) coins will be available. Who knows how many that will be - but even if by some fluke its all 400.... that's still just a meagre 400 coins worldwide!
Due in stock mid-April 2021. Please note: Any items ordered at the same time as this coin will be held until this coin arrives.
