Description
Part of the celebrated 7 Summits series, the 2020 $25 Carstensz Pyramid 5 oz Silver Coin captures Oceania’s highest peak in breathtaking detail from a bird’s-eye perspective.
Reaching 16,024 feet (4,884 meters) into the sky, Carstensz Pyramid in Papua, Indonesia is the highest summit in Oceania and one of the rare tropical mountains on Earth crowned with glaciers. Known to indigenous locals as Puncak Jaya ("Victory Peak") and named in honor of Dutch navigator Jan Carstensz, this formidable mountain has tested adventurous climbers as part of the Seven Summits challenge: a climbing tour of each continent's highest peak.
Minted in five full ounces of fine silver, the coin employs enhanced Smart-minting® technology to create an ultra-high relief that lifts the summit off the coin's surface in stunning 3D detail. This 2020 edition boasts even higher relief and sharper dimension than its predecessors. Accentuated by selective colouring that brings its topographic slopes to life, this extraordinary piece is an essential acquisition for nature lovers, mountaineering enthusiasts, and discerning collectors alike.
