Coca-Cola was invented in the late 1800s by American pharmacist John Pemberton. The carbonated soft drink enjoyed by millions today was originally developed as a substitute for morphine and a cure for its associated addiction. This shaped proof coin replicating a Coca-Cola bottle cap is struck from 6 grams of .999 fine silver for issue by Fiji. |
The iconic white script "COCA-COLA" logo appears on the reverse, against a brilliant red background. The edges of the coin curve and ripple downward, styled in the three dimensional shape of a bottle cap.
The obverse of the coin features the coat of arms of the Republic of Fiji, with the inscriptions "6g" and ".999 FINE SILVER" flanking the image. Additional inscriptions include "FIJI 2018" above, and "1 DOLLAR" below.
Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) has graded this 2018 Fiji Coca-Cola Bottle Cap-Shaped Silver Colorized Proof to be a flawless Proof 70. The magnificent shaped coin is further designated Ultra Cameo (UC), in recognition of the outstanding contrast between the frosted and mirrored surfaces. The silver dollar is encapsulated in a NGC protective holder with a Coca-Cola themed certification label specially designed for exclusive use by ModernCoinMart.
