Tanzania – Death’s-head Hawkmoth 2 oz Silver 2018 Proof

Tanzania: Death’s-head Hawkmoth 2 oz Silver 2018 Proof is a unique collector coin dedicated to one of the world’s most intriguing insects – the Death’s-head hawkmoth. Recognisable by the skull-like marking on its thorax, this moth has for centuries symbolised the fragility of life, transience, and the mysterious side of nature.

The coin is struck from 2 ounces of .999 fine silver and features advanced Smartminting technology, allowing for an unusual shape and an exceptionally high level of detail. The Black Proof finish gives the coin depth, contrast, and a dramatic appearance that perfectly complements the theme of the issue.

A strictly limited mintage of only 999 pieces worldwide makes this coin highly sought after by collectors of unique thematic issues. Each piece is delivered in an elegant case and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

Reverse: features an extraordinarily detailed, three-dimensional depiction of the Death’s-head hawkmoth, faithfully capturing the shape of its wings and the characteristic skull motif. The composition highlights the fleeting nature of existence and the delicacy of nature, making the coin not only a numismatic item but also a miniature work of art.

Obverse: displays the coat of arms of Tanzania along with the inscriptions “TANZANIA”, the denomination “1500 SHILLINGS”, and the year of issue “2018”, confirming the coin’s status as legal tender.

The Death’s-head Hawkmoth 2018 is an ideal choice for collectors seeking original, symbolic issues with a high artistic level and limited availability.
