Cook Islands Ina and the Shark $3 1987ND Pick 1 Crisp Uncirculated

$9.99

Cook Islands – Ina and the Shark – $3 – 1987(ND) – Pick 1 -Crisp Uncirculated — Ina was the love of Tinirau, the god of the ocean who lived on a floating island. One day Ina jumped into the sea in search of Tinirau, but since the sea was so restless, she was continually tossed back to shore by its gigantic waves. She enlisted the help of some fish to help her swim, but they were too small to carry her, so in her frustration, she beat them with a stick, permanently marking their bodies. This is how the angelfish got their black stripes. Eventually a shark agreed to carry her on his back. For the journey she took some coconuts with her, for food and drink. After some time, Ina became thirsty, so the shark raised his dorsal fin so that she could crack a coconut and quench her thirst. A bit later Ina became thirsty again and this time she cracked the coconut on the shark’s head. One version of the story says that this is how the hammerhead shark came about. Another story says that this is why there is a bump on a shark’s head, which is to this day called Ina’s bump. Reeling from the pain, the shark tossed Ina off his back dove below the waters, leaving her to flounder in the sea. Fortunately, Tekea the Great, the king of all sharks rose from the bottom of the sea and rescued Ina, carrying her to Tinirau’s island where the lovers were finally reunited. This crisp uncirculated banknote would make a nice addition to any collection of sealife or world banknotes. Over the next few months we will be aggressively searching out and obtaining wildlife banknotes, so feel free to bookmark this page and come back often to see the new additions to our collection.

Palau Greatest Victories Ferrari 156 F1 $1 2011 Proof Colored Coin w/Box & COA

$39.99

Palau – Ferrari coin – Greatest Victories – Ferrari 156 F1 – $1 – 2011 – Proof Colored Coin – Factory Case & COA – The Ferrari 156 was a racecar introduced by Ferrari in 1961 to comply with then-new F1 regulations that lowered engine displacement from 2.5 to 1.5 liters, similar to the pre-1961 F2 class for which Ferrari had developed a midsize-engine car also called 156. It used the V6 Dino engine named after Enzo Ferrari’s late son. The new engine was a revised F2 engine with the V-angle increased from 65 to 120 degrees. This increased the power by 10 hp (7 kW). Bore and stoke were 73.0 x 58.8 millimeters with a displacement of 1,476.60 cc and a claimed 190 hp (142 kW) at 9,500 rpm. For 1962 a 24-valve version was planned with 200 hp (149 kW) at 10,000 rpm, but never appeared. In 1963 the 12-valve version fitted with Bosch direct-fuel injection instead of carburetors achieved that power level. The last victory for the Ferrari 156 was achieved by Italian Lorenzo Bandini in the 1964 Austrian Grand Prix. It has one of the most iconic racecar shapes and was one of the most distinctive of all Ferraris. Phil Hill won the 1961 World Championship of Drivers and Ferrari secured the 1961 International Cup for F1 Manufacturers, both victories achieved with the 156. This beautiful legal-tender coin was struck in silver-plated copper-nickel and issued under licensing authority of Ferrari, S.P.A., Maranello, Italy. It comes in a distinctive Ferrari presentation case with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity and has a worldwide mintage of only 2,500 coins. This Ferrari coin would make a truly unique gift for that racing enthusiast in your life or collector of non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) coins.

Gold Plated Color Panda Great Wall Of China 2005

$19.99

One of two very cute and cuddly Panda pieces acquired from a Chinese Mint represented at the ANA Show in San Francisco in 2005. Both the Great Wall and the Panda are uniquely emblematic of China and are considered national treasures. China has effectively used pandas as gifts to foreign zoos to stimulate deeper contacts and improve relations, as their gift of two Pandas to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. proved to be effective during the Cold War. China’s pride in this unique wildlife ambassador is currently now being matched by their efforts to restore the Panda’s threatened population. The latest inventory of the Panda population conducted by the Chinese government found the number of giant panda in the wild has increased from 1,100 in 1988 to more than 1,590 today. The present rapid growth taking place in China now promises both greater interest in these amazing creatures and some new challenges as people’s views of their native habitat change.
