New Zealand Mint
The New Zealand Mint, based in Auckland, is New Zealand’s only private mint. It is widely recognized for producing high-quality bullion and collectible coins in gold and silver, often featuring pop culture themes.
As New Zealand does not have a government-run mint, the New Zealand Mint strikes coins on behalf of various Pacific island nations such as Niue, Fiji, and Tuvalu. It is especially known for its licensed coin series featuring franchises like Star Wars™, Harry Potter™, Disney™, and Marvel™.
In addition to bullion coins, the mint offers gift sets, collector boxes, and proof editions – making it a popular choice among coin collectors worldwide.
The 2022 1oz Silver Bitcoin is a distinctive coin crafted by the New Zealand Mint, known for its expertise in producing high-quality coins. The coin symbolises the value of silver in millibitcoins (1/1000 BTC) on the day it was created. Its design is innovative and visually appealing, reflecting the modernity and technological sophistication associated with cryptocurrencies.
The obverse features the famous Bitcoin logo and the surrounding legend contains the inscription 0.6 mBTC. This represents how many millibitcoins would be needed to purchase 1oz of silver at the time of minting. The inscription also includes the weight and year of issue together with a number of 1s and 0s which are binary code that translate to the same Satoshi, inventor of Bitcoin.
The reverse of the Bitcoin silver 1oz coin portrays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed in 1998, by the sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley and includes his initials, IRB. The legend displays the weight, purity of the silver and face value of the coin as legal tender in New Zealand.
