• Legal tender coin of the British Indian Ocean Territory
• Proof Sterling Silver with an etched crystal centre
• Struck four times to achieve the legendary Pobjoy ‘Proof’ finish
• Limited edition of only 5,000 coins

The British Indian Ocean Territory is legendary as the home to some of the most remarkable colonies of sea turtles. And now, these beloved animals are honoured on their very own coin that depicts their magical journey from egg to mature adult.

But what sets this coin apart from all others is the aqua-coloured crystal that is actually set into the centre of the coin. The second coin in the world to include real crystal, it features the etched image of a turtle that is equally impressive from both sides of the coin.

Due to its intricacy and the difficulty of producing a single silver-and-crystal coin, it is limited to only 5,000 worldwide. Order yours now!

CERTIFICATE INCLUDED AND IN RED DISPLAY CASE

Pobjoy Mint was established in the middle ages in Great Britain and today makes superior coins for special commemoratives and for governments.

Pobjoy has reputation as top coin designer and coin dieing techniques and for top quality packaging.

The Pobjoy family has been associated with fine metalwork since the Middle Ages. The Company was recently granted permission to use the family Coat of Arms in which the Medieval Popinjay is the central motif. The Popinjay was a painted wooden parrot used in archery contests in the 14th century and the name Pobjoy is derived from this. The Latin motto 'OCULO CERTO' means 'with an unerring eye' and applies equally to the ancestor's prowess as a marksman, as to the Company's reputation for the high quality and precision of its products. Over the past three centuries, the Company has been involved in many diverse fields, but they have always been involved in metal, both base and precious. During World War II Pobjoy Aero Engineering was involved in the manufacturing of the famous Spitfire wings. The Company is now the largest private Mint in Europe.
