2023 2 oz Mount Everest - First Ascent Silver Coin

The Mount Everest - First Ascent Silver Coin from CIT honors the trajectory of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the first men to climb Mount Everest successfully in 1953.

The engraved images reflect the magnitude of such a natural giant and the courage of these men who decided to face the odds and several failed previous campaigns.

Coin enthusiasts who appreciate unique pieces in their collections may appreciate that CIT struck a limited number of 1953 coins, honoring the year of this accomplishment.

Besides that, these coins weigh 2 oz of 99.9% fine silver, making them a sensible option for investors searching for valuable tangible assets to diversify their investment portfolios.

The Design

The obverse design displays the scenario of the first ascent. Mount Everest is on the left while two mountaineers hike, heading to its summit. On this side, the two hikers are imprinted in Ultra-High Relief, an effect of the exclusive Smartminting® Technology.

The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is encircled on the lower left, accompanied by the coin’s face value, year of issuance, and Cook Islands’ name.

The outer rim also contains a message, which reads: “IN 20 MAY 1953, NEW ZEALAND-BORN HILLARY AND HIS NEPALESE MOUNTAINEERING PARTNER TENZING NORGAY, BECAME THE FIRST HUMANS TO STAND ON THE SUMMIT OF EVEREST. AS MEMBERS OF THE 1953 BRITISH MOUNT EVEREST EXPEDITION, THEIR TRIUMPH WAS THE GLORIOUS RESULT OF A LONG, COMPLEX, AND BRILLIANTLY CO-ORDINATED CAMPAIGN.”

The reverse showcases Mount Everest in Ultra-High Relief. Shadows of blue compose the mountain’s depiction. Dashes on the right show the track used to reach the peak. And the engravings “MT. EVEREST,” “1953 FIRST ASCENT,” complete the design.
