Coins From Singapore and New Zealand

Here at Coin Mercantile, Inc we are fond of the craftsmenship coming from all over the globe. But in particular we enjoy the beautiful and extravagant colors the New Zealand Mint and Singapore Mint have to offer.

To the right, we have a coin from the Singapore Mint celebrating the hosting of the inaugural Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix. This event was not only the first night race in F1 history, but also the first street race in Asia. This .999 fine silver proof quality coin is an asset to any collection.


Issued by the New Zealand Mint for the country of Niue, we have two different four coin sets celebrating the epic movie saga Star Wars. To the right is the Millennium Falcon Set and to the left is the Darth Vader Set.



 Also from the New Zealand Mint for the country of Niue, we offer a rectangular coin commemorating the conquest of space. This particular one depicts the first man in space, Alexei Leonov. He was outside the spacecraft for 12 minutes and 9 seconds connected to the craft by a 5.35 meter tether on Marth 18th, 1965.
