Gold Silver Art: 2015 Guy Harvey The Old Man and the Sea 10 oz 999 silver bar

Introducing the 2015 Guy Harvey "The Old Man and the Sea" 10 oz silver bar.


Famed marine artist and photographer Guy Harvey© has brought his artwork to a new medium - silver! Harvey was working on his PhD in marine biology when his one-man exhibition of sketches based on "The Old Man and the Sea" propelled him to international attention in 1985.




Captivated by Hemingway's timeless story, the Jamaican native returns to the subject with this scene of the old man Santiago battling the blue marlin. The front of this .999 fine silver bar depicts Santiago standing in his rowboat as the majestic blue marlin catapults into the air near him. The back features another Guy Harvey© design, of an antique Spanish map of Florida.

Both sides contain the Guy Harvey© logo, while the front includes the title "The Old Man and The Sea" and the weight and purity of 10 oz .999 fine silver.



This is a silver bar like no other, authorized by Guy Harvey© himself. Bring home this treasure for yourself, a Hemingway fan, or a lover of marine artwork. The Guy Harvey© "The Old Man and The Sea" 10 oz silver bar is sure to stand out!

Easter Island Silver CombiCoin 1gram x100 'Cook Islands' Legal Tender Silver Block

1gram silver divisble block of 100 each 10c Cook Island's Legal Tender
Valcambi's innovative, divisible bar format turned heads in the bullion market when the first 1g x 50 gold bar was released, giving investors an accessible and flexible option for managing their physical gold holdings.

Valcambi's latest version of the CombiBar is the CombiCoin; the famous snap-apart bar made from pure silver and issued as legal tender of the Cook Islands.


Legal tender status can offer significant benefits when transporting or trading. Classified by many tax authorities around the world as "currency" rather than "valuables", investors may have the option of declaring legal tender bullion products at face value rather than market (metal) value. 

In addition to extra privacy, legal tender status can reduce or eliminate liabilities for sales tax (VAT) in many jurisdictions - recognition that money is essential to travel and commerce.

Breaking up the CombiCoin is a simple matter of bending the strips along their break lines until the weakened metal gives way and snaps apart. The predefined breaking points ensuring that there is no loss of metal.

Located in Balerna, Switzerland, Valcambi is certified by the London Bullion Market Association as a Good Delivery Refiner and serves the LBMA's wholesale clients including banks, investment firms and governments across the globe.

Birds of the Pacific Islands 1oz Silver Three Coin Set










About the Birds of Pacific Islands 3 x 1 oz Silver Coin Set
 
There are between 20,000 and 30,000 islands situated throughout the Pacific Ocean.
 
The existence of so many islands has created enormous opportunities for evolutionary development due to selective breeding. The result is a fantastic array of birdlife on islands throughout the Pacific, where birds have evolved into slightly different forms resulting in unique and endemic species.
 
New Zealand Mint is releasing this beautiful three Coin Set to celebrate these iconic birds of the Pacific.
 

Reverse Designs

Niue: This coin face features a high quality colour image of the Pacific Pigeon, Ducula pacifica, or ‘Lupe’ in Niuean.
 
This bird is generally acknowledged to be the most widely recognised endemic bird species on Niue. To its left is the Fiti Pua, Fagraea berteroana, the flower of Niue, and the Niuean coat of arms.
 
Fiji:  This coin face features the vibrant colours of the Collared Lory, Phigys solitaries, the National bird of Fiji.
 
Also featured is the native Tagimoucia Flower, Medinilla waterhousei, endemic to the highland rainforests of the Fijian Islands, only growing at an altitude of over 600 metres (656 yards). Above this is the official Fijian National Coat of Arms.
 
Pitcairn Island: 
This final coin features the Henderson Island Fruit Dove, Ptilinopus insularis, an iconic bird endemic to the Pitcairn Islands and listed as vulnerable by the IUCN.
 
Below this is the native Yellow Fautu, Abutilon pitcairnense, a critically endangered perennial plant once thought to be extinct until a single plant was discovered in 2003. All elements are set against a finely engraved Pacific Island background, flowing across all three coins and their timber surround.
 

Obverse Designs

Niue: Features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
