New Zealand Mint Silver Coins

The New Zealand Mint’s primary bullion coin is the 1 oz Silver Taku. Investors and collectors have embraced the Silver Taku as a low premium silver bullion coin. The Taku, also known as the Hawksbill turtle is one of the two main turtle species of the South Pacific island nation of Fiji. The reverse design with its stylized shell pattern swimming through the waters of the Pacific Ocean is a wonderful depiction of this once endangered species. The Silver Taku comes in three different sizes, or the 5 oz, 1 oz, and ½ oz Silver Taku.
