WELL BEING, A SILVER COIN WITH A TANTALUM INSERT

Hi dears, it’s Chiara, and welcome or welcome back to Power Coin’s blog!
I think that turtles are truly fascinating animals: they are scaly reptiles with oval-shaped hard shells, they lumber around slowly and have wrinkly and bald heads that make them look like wise old men. And let's not forget their signature ability to retract their heads inside their shells when they're frightened. Furthermore, the turtle is a symbol of health and longevity.
Today I would like to introduce you an amazing Silver Coin that celebrates this animal: Well Being.
This beautiful Silver coin has a Tantalum insert, an incredible shape and a Proof quality.

What is Tantalum?

Tantalum is a chemical element with symbol Ta and atomic number 73. Its name comes from Tantalus, a villain from Greek mythology. Tantalum is a rare, hard, blue-gray, lustrous transition metal that is highly corrosion-resistant. It is part of the refractory metals group, which are widely used as minor components in alloys. The chemical inertness of tantalum makes it a valuable substance for laboratory equipment and a substitute for platinum.

The Reverse

The reverse of this wonderful coin features the beautiful top view of a Turtle, with the brownish Tantalum core representing the animal’s shell.
All around the reverse, the inscriptions: “IGILIK MONTETA”,
“MONETA BLAGOPOLUCHIA” and “THE WELL – BEING COIN” – the name of the coin.

The Obverse

The obverse of the coin features the beautiful Tantalum core and the inscriptions: “100 ТЕҢГЕ” – the face value, “REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN” – the issuing country, “2017” – the year of issue and “Ag 925 19.3g Ta 20.0g” – the fineness and the weight of the Silver, the weight of the Tantalum.

The coin has a limited mintage of 2.500 pieces worldwide!

Stay tuned and remember: Collect, Invest, Enjoy!
