Design:
This 1oz silver proof coin is limited to just 1,000 worldwide and won't last long. Accompanied by an official certificate of authenticity and packaged in a premium display box, it's the ultimate collectable of The British & Irish Lions 2017 Tour.
The coin design depicts rugby players from New Zealand and The British & Irish Lions coming together in a hongi. The hongi is a sacred Māori physical embrace where two people become one by pressing noses and foreheads together. The British & Irish Lions badge is a historic and cherished symbol that represents the union of four rival nations. This along with the red colour of the background present a clear connection to the long established team.
