2017 $20 Cook Island Graf Zeppelin 100th Anniversary 3 Oz Silver NGC PF69 UC

Commemorating the Death of an Air Travel Visionary -- in 99.9% Pure Silver! Air travel was considered science fiction not long ago.

Thanks to pioneers like the one that this 3-oz Silver 2017 Cook Islands 100thAnniversary of Graf Zeppelin honors, it is something that millions take for granted today. Unlike virtually all other coins, this one makes use of both faces to honor him. On the reverse is a portrait of him with the airship that bore his name in the distance. Like other coins issued by the Cook Islands, the obverse features Ian Rank-Broadleys portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the date, country, and face value. Unlike other coins, though, those items are raised to the top to make room for the Graf Zeppelin airship on its arctic expedition.

Graf Zeppelins life, work, and legacy are enough to inspire anyone who is determined to do what others deem impossible. Although he died in 1917, an airship was later completed and named in his honor.

That airship offered the first ever commercial flight service connecting Europe and the Americas, thus dramatically accelerating the continuing shrinkage of the globe that continues today. Zeppelins innovation and determination make this piece a great choice for any collector who is striving toward his own life goals. Make sure to order yours today, though, because with its low mintage of just 499 pieces, these coins will fly away faster than even latest successors to Zeppelins airship!
