2024 Cook Islands $10 2-oz Silver Peaks of the World – K2 Colorized Proof

Silver Tribute To “The Savage Mountain”

As the tallest summit in the world, Mount Everest attracts the lion’s share of attention, but while Everest at 29,032 feet IS the world’s highest peak, it’s the world’s second-highest peak—the 28,251-foot-tall K2 mountain which lies on the borders of Pakistan and China—that’s the more treacherous of the two. Nicknamed “The Savage Mountain” by experienced mountaineers, K2 has been successfully climbed by approximately 700 people since its discovery in 1856 compared to the nearly 7,000 people who have successfully climbed Everest since its summit was finally reached for the first time in 1953. The reason is simple: there’s no easy wat to the top. In fact, according to British Mountaineer Jake Meyer, the youngest man in the world to climb the highest mountains on each of the seven traditional continents, the difference is that, unlike Everest where some sections of the mountain are relatively flat, every route on K2 averages 45 degrees from base to summit.

Patented Smartminting© Double Ultra High Relief

Here you can explore the breathtaking heights of K2 without risk of death, injury, frostbite, or heavy oxygen tanks thanks to this incredible new release in the Mayer Mint’s Peaks of the World series that pays tribute to the world’s tallest mountains. The third release in the series, this intricately designed coin was not only struck in two ounces of highly pure 99.99% silver but employs CIT’s (Coin Invest Trust) patented Smartminting© double Ultra High Relief (UHR) technology to create a design that towers off the surface of the coin. The selectively colorized depiction of K2 allows you to trace yours fingers up the side of this mammoth peak—but you’ll want to wear a pair of white gloves lest you damage the coin’s gorgeous Proof finish that was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.
