Silver coin 3 Oz Mechanical Bee proof
Personal pickup at the store
This innovative silver coin, which impressively combines natural and artificial motifs, reflects on where evolution would go if human intervened. Its central element is a mechanical bee.
Honey bees are an extremely useful insect species and their role in the planet's ecosystem is irreplaceable. It is certainly not just about honey production, which these industrious creatures have embedded right in their name. Much more important is their ability to pollinate green vegetation - agricultural crops and wild plants. Albert Einstein once said that when bees die out, mankind will outlive them by just four years. Without pollination, there will be no crops, and animals and people will starve. Yet we take the bees for granted and do not take into account that they are disappearing irrevocably from the world. Climate change, intensive farming, the use of chemicals, as well as bacteria, mites and alien beetles contribute to their decline.
The reverse side of the commemorative coin presents an extraordinary bee - while the surface of its body is completely natural, the interior is made up of cogs, pistons and other mechanical components. Another distinctive element of the composition is the honeycomb. The reverse side is processed in a unique multi-layered technique that lends it vibrant colors. The obverse side is filled with an elaborated clockwork that incorporates the attributes of the issuer of the coin - the national emblem of Mongolia and the nominal value of 2000 TOGROG. All this is processed in deep relief.
The unusual Power Coin is placed in an elegant case. It is an attractive piece to the collection, but also an original gift for good luck.
