Summer has always had a special feeling - warm weather, beaches, outdoor sports and picnics. What’s not to like? While some collectors are preoccupied during June, July and August with vacations, the coin hobby never rests. For those who love the summer and want to have coins that remind them of those great months, there are countless choices representing a variety of interests.
DESTINATION VACATIONS
For many people, there are special places they go in summer to relax - oceans, lakes and beaches are popular. Because these areas are so popular, it is natural that they would be portrayed on coins.
Fiji is comprised of more than 330 small islands in the South Pacific. As a remote destination, it has more than its share of beautiful, unspoiled beaches. In 2019, the Federal Reserve Bank of Fiji had small quantities of silver scallop shell coins created.
One version of this coin is a 10-gram .999 Fine Silver scallop shell. It was manufactured using a brand-new technology that accurately captures the colors and textures of real shells. It looks so realistic that you would swear it was made from an actual shell. It was made in a limited run of only 10,000 pieces and it bears a $1legal tender denomination in Fiji.
The other version is a One Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver scallop shell. This coin has a $2 denomination and had a limited mintage of only 4,000 worldwide. Both coins are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and are housed in a box designed to look like a woven beach mat.
