Design

Struck to the highest possible quality by the Royal British Mint, this fabulous $10 gold proof coin celebrated the 151st year of the oldest international sporting contest in the world.

The reverse of the coin displayed carefully crafted images of the America's Cup against New Zealand, the Southern Cross and two yachts mid-race. The obverse contained Ian Rank-Broadley’s effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The coin was perfectly displayed in a New Zealand made elegant native rimu case.
