MACHU PICCHU Old Peak Lost World Cities 2 Oz 5 Dollars Silver Coin Niue 2022

The lost Inca city in silver

Machu Picchu – "Old Peak" in Quechua – is one of the most mysterious places on Earth. Built on a mountain ridge in the Andes, the Inca city stayed hidden from the world for centuries and is today a symbol of lost civilisations. This coin from the Lost World Cities series brings the view to silver.

Coin design

The reverse shows the stone terraces and walls of the city, with the distinctive Huayna Picchu peak rising above them. A gilded sun shines in the sky next to the moon and a soaring condor, and a llama stands in the foreground. The whole scene is framed by an ornamental border. High relief, an antique finish and selective gilding make the coin look like a miniature bas-relief. The obverse bears Queen Elizabeth II, NIUE, the face value 5 DOLLARS, the year 2022 and the fineness Ag 999.

Packaging

The coin comes in an elegant wooden box with a data card and a certificate of authenticity.

Gift idea

For a traveller who has been to Peru or dreams of it, a lover of history and ancient civilisations, or a collector of coins with architecture and landscapes.
