New Zealand - Maui and the Sun

[muenzdachs]

New gold & silver set from New Zealand

Theme: Maui and the Sun - Tama Nui-te-Ra

Gold Set: 2 x 1/2 oz Gold - mintage only 150 sets

Silver Set: 2 x 1 oz Silver - mintage 1.500 sets

As usual higher price tag for New Zealand coins but especially gold set with only 150 sets should be a quick sell out

@Lindeman Not certain if this is the second in the series after the Taniwha and which NZP intimated was the first in a new set. Seems to be closely following the theme of Polynesian legends and myths, and once again is a very low mintage.

Don't know if you finally bit on the 1 oz silver Taniwha but this was sold out awhile back, but now appears to be back in stock.

Thanks for the reminder @ArthGoch     Must say I still have not picked up the Taniwha silver...but at least the option remains.  Seems at least 100 still available on the NZ site.  Remind me - did you get one?  

This series ( which it probably is...) is just not as attractive as the Maori Art series that ended in 2014...so I have to agree with @shortstack68 ! 

If I buy the 2.coin set it would be as much for the beautiful box ... rather than the coin?
