Palau Mountains & Flora Watzmann $5 2009 Proof Silver Crown COA

Palau – Mountains & Flora – Watzmann – $5 – 2009 – Proof Silver Crown – COA – The sight of a blue gentian, edelweiss or any other typical alpine flower makes many a mountain climber or hiker’s heart leap for joy. Thanks to the high ultraviolet-rays, alpine flowers have an intensive luminous color which is very appealing to our senses. They are survivalists who have adjusted perfectly to their extreme environment, although in many areas the snow melts earlier than in the past due to increased global warming. For this reason, alpine flowers bloom earlier than they used to. The Watzmann is the third highest mountain in Germany. The three main peaks are Hocheck at 8,615 feet above sea level, the Middle Peak at 8,817 feet and the South Peak 8,814 feet. Worldwide mintage on this coin was limited to 2,500 pieces. This beautiful proof silver crown comes as shown with a Certificate of Authenticity.
