A Unique & Beautiful New Release! This highly-stylized 2018 Silver 1 oz Samoa Seahorse coin, minted in stunning .999 BU Proof-like finish will amaze you! Issued by the U.S. based Scottsdale Mint , in cooperation with the government of the South Pacific island nation of Samoa, this coin is a real show piece. It is one of the most artistically stylized nature designs we've seen in quite awhile. In fact, Scottsdale described it as a "unique abstract stain-glass design."



That is certainly the case, but it leaves out one of the most stunning aspects of the coin's design. The wide band encircling the rim is a wonderful patchwork of various sized geometric shapes. Each shape contains finely-engraved lines, and the various angles of these lines reflect the light differently. As you hold the coin and rotate it, the result is reminiscent of sunlight glistening off the seawater swells off the coast of Samoa.



The seahorse in the center inset is shown naturally camouflaged, floating amongst sea grass slowly waving in the flow of the current. Bubbles are shown rising from the ocean floor. The seahorse itself is displayed as though created of carefully-cut glass pieces. It's geometric form is just as it would be in a fine piece of stain-glass artwork.



As with all Scottsdale products, the quality of these coins is very high. Each Seahorse comes in a mint-issued capsule and there will only be 30,000 of these Silver BU proof-like strikes produced so be sure to get your order in soon!
