2019 Tuvalu $1 1-oz Silver Periodic Table Proof

Here’s a Coin With Real Chemistry!

Anyone who has ever had to sit through a chemistry class knows about the periodic table. After all, the periodic table is the most useful item in a chemist’s tool box. Without it, science would be an unorganized mess. It would be like trying to shop at a grocery store where all the items were haphazardly stocked on shelves with no rhyme or reason. But thanks to Russian scientist Dmitri Mendeleev, who introduced the Periodic Table in 1869, the world can now view the known elements in a simple informative array.

To pay tribute to Mendeleev’s groundbreaking achievement, Australia’s world-renowned Perth Mint has struck a limited-edition proof that commemorates the 150th anniversary of the creation of the Periodic Table. Issued on behalf of the South Pacific island nation of Tuvalu, the $1 legal-tender coin was struck in a full ounce of highly-pure 99.99% silver. Its design shows a detailed profile of Dmitri Mendeleev along with colorized symbols reflecting table elements that spell out “One Hundred Fifty Years.” For example, the chemical elements Neon (Ne), Neodymium (Nd), Rhenium (Re) and Argon (Ar) are used to spell out the words. The words PERIODIC TABLE and the Perth Mint’s “P” mintmark are also shown.

Each 2019 Tuvalu Periodic Table One-Ounce Silver Proof available in this offer was expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. It’s a fascinating and enlightening coin that’s limited to a maximum worldwide release of just 3,000. Each coin will come in its official mint packaging and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

Known as the Father of the periodic Table, Mendeleev was a true genius. When he published his table 150 years ago, there were just 60 known elements. He was smart enough to realize that more elements were going to be discovered so he left space in the table for future additions. Today, there are 118 known elements – all of which are, right now, being memorized by a high-school student who will someday discover a cure or make our lives better after getting his or her start in chemistry class. 

If you’re a fan of science or know someone who is, this is the perfect keepsake, one that’s sure to be treasured for many years to come as an inspiration to advance the human species ever forward. Click one to your cart today!
