The 2020 MayFlower Silver Coin & WINNER of a Secret HIVE GAW!

in Silver Gold Stackers4 years ago (edited)

Hello, Hivers! And HAPPY FATHER's DAY to those celebrating this day!

It is #beautifulsunday and #sublimesunday to be able to share with you a silver coin that depicts one of my favorite designs- SHIP- and with significance to the history of America.

Today we will look at the Mayflower silver coin.


The Mayflower is one of the most well-known sailing vessels in American history. The ship itself predates the founding of the United States of America, but its place in the history of the country is held dearly as the start of permanent settling in what is now the United States. The Mayflower departed from Plymouth, England, in September 1620 with a goal of reaching the New World.

2020 Rwanda 1 oz Silver Nautical Ounce Mayflower BU

The 2020 Nautical Ounce series release commemorates the 400th anniversary of the English ship, The 'Mayflower' which was one of the first ships to bring Pilgrims to the "New World".

4th design in the Rwandan Nautical Ounce Series, contains 1 ounce of .999 fine silver by the German Mint, 50 RWF Franc.

OBVERSE
The obverse of the coin features the Mayflower in sail with a stylized compass in the background. The inscriptions "Nautical Ounce", “2020”, nautical instruments and the purity are listed along the rim.

Once the Mayflower departed from Plymouth, England, it took just over two months to cross the Atlantic Ocean. The ship with 103 passengers and 30 crew arrived off the coast of Cape Cod on November 9, 1620, and the settlers of would eventually build up a colony before winter set-in in full.


REVERSE

The reverse side of 2020 Rwandan Silver Mayflower Nautical Ounce Coin includes the coat of arms & official seal of for the Republic of Rwanda and the face value of 50 Francs. The national emblem features a traditional basket in the center with sorghum and coffee on either side, with all these elements flanked by traditional indigenous shields.

Acquiring the current year release of bullion silver (and fractional gold) coins from the different world mints is a fun way to save in precious metals.

These are the 2020 world mint coins I have shown in my blog:

Sort:  

I just got my May Flower too to add to the series collection.
I know there are lots of different coins by other countries featuring this famous ship.
The closest thing to a bird house I have is either the Bird Feeder or the Cuckcoo clock.
And congrats to our Sister of #ladiesofsgs4eva on the secret draw prize.
Much Love!

There are three MayFlower sip coins for 2020, the two others are pricier. Lucky for me I do not collect those series. When the Santa Maria first came out, the only indication we had that there will be other coins to follow was they called it a "Nautical Ounce." This is the fourth one now, and before we know it there will be a tube full! The sailing vessel Anne also brought Pilgrims to the New World. Have you seen a coin with her on it? When the German Mint runs out of ships to feature there will be other nautical themes and designs that they can feature, I guess. We are getting old together, sis!!! Take care 🥰🌺🤙, lots of love💓💝 and a million and one Hugs and Kisses 🤗💕💋!

Wow very cool I can’t watch the video on esteem so will have to hop on my computer when I can. That is a very cool coin.

I have four from this series now. It is amazing how one coin becomes four coins... just one silver ship coin a year! Thank YOU, my friend! I appreciate you! Take care 🥰🌺🤙

Thanks a lot and will check it out.

I passed through Plymouth before in trip several years ago. Cannot remember much I think I remember hearing about Mayflower and Thanksgiving though I did a bit of search and found the Thanksgiving was practice before the ship arrives.

There are historical accounts as well as myths and legends surrounding when the first THanksgiving celebration occurred. Our national Thanksgiving Day was established by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. This was the first nationally declared Thanksgiving Day for the United States, which is still observed on the fourth Thursday each November to the present day. Take care, my friend, @ace108 🥰🌺🤙

Ah, thanks for the information.

I am collecting this series and as soon as they let me come to Canada, I will buy this fourth specimen.

I do not doubt that at all, my friend. I know that you a disciplined collector and an inspiration to me. Happy Father's Day, @ronavel, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

I like it a lot too, will try to order some too

Do you have the 2017 Santa Maria, the 2018 Endeavor, and the 2019 Victoria @djohan? The Rwanda designs have a unique look to them. I've attached a photo of the earlier ship coins in one of my replies to the comments. You probably have them, but in case you don't you can view the coins there. Have a great week ahead, and take care, @djohan 🥰🌺🤙

I think i only have the rwanda wildlife series, haven't collected the ships

The mayflower is a beautiful coin.

Each sailing vessel complements each other, and each one looks better when viewed together! Here are the two earlier Rwanda silver ship coins: The 2017 Santa Maria and the 2018 Endeavor


I like all the silver ship coins! Take care, my friend @fat-elvis 🥰🌺🤙

So interesting the story behind the Mayflower! We have been watching a Video series called "Footloose in England". They Just covered the mayflower and it's voyage to America.
They covered how The Mayflower actually left from Southampton......First.....
The ship Was escorting another ship that was leaking, called the Speedwell, and they both stopped in Dartmouth for repairs.
Then they traveled up to Plymouth, and then the voyage to America!😀

Very interesting, I did ramble on ....
Very Awesome silver round @silversaver888, thanks for showing this to us all, and thanks for a Happy Fathers Day!!!
I hope your Sunday is going well, take care my friend!😍😍😀

It is an interesting story how pioneers travel and brave the seas to seek better a place to raise their families. I wonder if I would be as daring! The history of this country is so interesting! Have a wonderful week ahead, and take care, my friend @silvertop 🥰🌺🤙

Always a pleasure to visit your post i can't believe how many beautiful valuable collectors coins you have here what a great hobby the problem i wouldn't want to sell any of them once i had them in my possession.

Have a wonderful day @silversaver 😊

Accompany me in my journey to save in silver and gold, and who knows you might just consider stacking... perhaps pick up one silver coin a month, and see how that goes. It might amaze you to realize how much you can save in precious metals. And I know what you mean... I have not sold a single piece of gold or silver yet! Have a wonderful week ahead, and take care, my friend @kohsamui99 🥰🌺🤙

Very nice! I have not seen this coin before. The reverse side is nice but I really like the obverse side.

I agree... the obverse is terrible. When I look at the four I have, I seldom look at the front, hehehe! Take care, my friend @maddogmike 🥰🌺🤙
