2024 New Zealand 1 oz Silver Maori Art Guardian Bullion Coin

Introducing the Enhanced 1oz Silver Guardian ‘Type 2’ Round

MyGold® proudly unveils the newly reimagined 1oz Silver Guardian, a tribute to New Zealand's rich Māori culture and traditions, now with unparalleled minting precision and quality. This exquisite piece, back by popular demand, showcases our advancements in production, offering enhanced brightness, sharpness, and detail compared to its predecessor.

Collaborating once again with the esteemed Māori tattoo artist, Tūrumakina (Tū), we've elevated the Silver Guardian to new heights. The round features the majestic Tama-nui-te-rā, the Māori Sun God, on the obverse, and the protective Manaia on the reverse, symbolizing the guardianship of life in all its forms and the bridge between the mortal world and the spirit domain.

For collectors and precious metal enthusiasts, the Silver Guardian represents a seamless fusion of artistry, technology, and craftsmanship. Over two years of meticulous planning and design have culminated in this masterpiece, making it a standout addition to any collection.

Acclaimed Artist: Tūrumakina

Tūrumakina, with 19 years of dedication to the art of Ta Moko, brings an unparalleled depth of Māori ancient knowledge to his designs. His work is a celebration of spiritual wisdom and sacred consciousness, rooted in the traditions of the Tuhoe, Ngati Awa, and Ngaiterangi tribes.

A New Era in Design

The Silver Guardian's design is the result of Tū's vision to honor nature and life, transformed into 3D reality with cutting-edge technology. This round is among the rare reverse proof-like bullion coins globally, a testament to our innovative minting process that ensures exceptional quality and detail.

Featuring the Manaia, it pays respect to Papatūānuku, the Earth Mother, and Tāne-Nui-ā-Rangi, the Sky Father, embodying the creation and guardianship of life. The Silver Guardian is more than a round; it's a symbol of life's continuity and our respect for the environment.

This enhanced version of the Silver Guardian is not just a collector's item but a piece of art to be treasured and displayed. It signifies MyGold's commitment to excellence and our reverence for the stories and traditions that shape our world.
