2016 1oz Silver Coin Makuna Honey Bee $1 New Zealand Hexagonal

  

Just like the industrious honey bee, this 1oz silver proof coin has a lot to offer. This is the very first release and in my opinion is the most collectible bee coin of all as they are so hard to find where the other 1499 or they never show up for sale. Since there can be many years that go by without one appearing! Minted from 0.999 silver with selective color.

Features honeycomb partially filled with resin - replicating real honey. Limited worldwide mintage of just 1,500. Each coin includes a unique numbered certificate. The hexagonal shape of the coin is based on a cell of honeycomb in a hive.

In the honey-making process, worker bees build a honeycomb structure of cells where nectar and pollen are stored, and larvae develop. The honey bee is brought to life on the coin with three-dimensional engraving and colour printing.

It's depicted sitting on the honeycomb, which has been partially filled with translucent amber-coloured resin - replicating real honey!
