Greate Tea Race.

in #hobby7 years ago

Hello everyone!
One of my favourite coin "The Great Tea Race" in the special 2 ounce edition. Just look to it astonished design. It's not the inserting , it's working with the silver surface. As a result one of the bigger height the picture from the coinage.
Most of the coins minted with the flat surface. The high relief - it's the hitech of mintaging.
Coin dedicated to the 150th anniversary of a legendary sailing race. Two centuries ago the fastest clippers competead with each other in transporting of tea crops from Great China to Great Britain.
After long 99-day journey two fastest ships arrived to London with a mere time difference of 25 minutes. That that's pictured by famous British maritime artist.IMG_0781.JPG
