Okay, every now and then there’s an innovation in numismatics that truly bamboozles me. This world coin has (believe it) friction/odor tech (better known as “scratch and sniff”). Now I like the smell of money well enough but this is one step beyond and this coin actually emits the smell of gunpowder and smoke when the image of the ship is rubbed! That’s getting into the buccaneer spirit! And it’s appropriate considering that the “Christian den Syvende,” built in 1767 for Denmark’s schizophrenic Monarch, King Christian VII, was a massive three-decked ship of the line. It had 90 guns and a crew of 849 men and saw about 40 years of service! If you’re a collector of world coins and have an affinity for buccaneers, privateers, or truly impressive ships then this world coin would make an extraordinary addition to your world coin collection.

And it’s appropriate considering that the “USS Chesapeake”, a 36-gun sailing frigate of the U.S. Navy, was one of the six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794. She saw service from 1799 until May 20th 1813 when she was defeated by HMS Shannon. It was from the deck of the “Chesapeake” that the immortal command “Don’t give up the ship!” was uttered.

And it’s appropriate considering that the English carrack, the “Mary Rose,” saw service from 1510 until her sinking on July 18th of 1545 during an engagement with the Spanish Armada. Apparently the crew forgot to close the lower decks gun ports as she heeled to in a breeze causing her to fill with water drowning all but 35 of her undisciplined crew!

She saw service from 1588 till 1636.

Described as the most fearless of New Zealand’s birds, standing its ground in any confrontation. Fearless predators and remarkable hunters they are capable of taking prey up to six times their own body weight. Worldwide, falcons are renown as amazing birds able to reach speeds of up to 130 miles per hour, with an eyesight eight times more powerful than humans. The New Zealand female falcon is larger than the male. A South Island female can weigh up to 650 grams, while the males weigh in at around 250 grams. These beautiful and unique creatures are declining in the wild. Fewer than 5,000 individuals remain even though they have been fully protected for the past three decades. Of these, only 450 pairs remain on New Zealand’s North Island. Beautiful Brilliant Uncirculated Five Dollar crown was issued by authority of the government of New Zealand and is sold out at the mint. It has become exceedingly scarce in the secondary market as well. This coin would make a great gift for any wildlife lover or collector of world coins.
