Trophy Stag Proof Coin captures New Zealand's wild essense

A desire to capture the wild essense of New Zealand that appeals to discerning investors and collectors has resulted in a unique silver bullion coin.

The mirror-finished one troy ounce Trophy Stag Proof Coin was inspired by seeing a multi-point antlered Red Deer stag in rugged bush country between the Kaimanawas and Ureweras says My Gold Ltd's managing director, Rich Elliott.

“Seeing this impressive animal in his wild New Zealand habitat resulted in us creating an investment and collectible item that pays homage to a Red Deer's intelligence, aggressiveness, and magnificence,” he says.

“What we've minted is a coin that reflects a wild heritage, and the energy and desire to produce its impressive antlers to fight for its territory and right to mate.”

The Trophy Stag Proof Coins have been handcrafted by artisans and comes sealed in plastic presentation cases. .

“This type of design, with a very simple background is extremely hard to manufacture,” he says.

“It takes exacting standards; not the least in running the rounds through the press twice. It is specialised and highly technical to produce proof quality coins.

“The whole process takes kid gloves.”

Rich Elliott says there are at least two types of market buyers who will be interested in the Trophy Stag.

The investor market especially can see that silver's value will increase in the future and believe in the metal's intrinsic tradeable value and ability to act as a hedge in times of uncertainty.

The collectibles market will see that the Trophy Stag is a unique and limited edition proof that's adds a lustre to their collection.

“We get asked all the time by collectors from Germany, Switzerland and the USA among others whether we have any coins that we've issued,” says Rich Elliott.

“So for them and others we're delighted to have created a product that is special in so many ways.”

The minting batch of 200 Trophy Stag Proof Coins are selling for an introductory price of about NZ$28.00 each.

Rich Elliott says the exact price for the guaranteed 99.99% pure silver Trophy Stag may vary, depending on the spot price of silver and the exchange rates when purchasing.

They are available through the MyGold Ltd website (www.mygold.co.nz), and further inquiries are welcome by phoning 0800 465 369.

He says My Gold are also working on the investor-grade product of the Trophy Stag Coins, meaning investors will be able to purchase a stunning coin for fantastic value for money.
