2025 Cook Islands Bucket List Machu Picchu 5 oz Silver Colorized Proof Coin

Discover an Ancient Wonder

The Cook Islands Bucket List Machu Picchu Silver Coin celebrates one of the most iconic landmarks in the world. Struck from five ounces of .9999 fine silver, this Proof-quality release honors the legendary Inca citadel, set high in the Andes of Peru.

History Carved in Stone

Machu Picchu was built in the 15th century under the Inca ruler Pachacútec. At 2,430 meters above sea level, the city showcases terraced structures and precise stonework that blend seamlessly with the surrounding mountains. Instead of using mortar, Inca builders cut stones so perfectly that they shifted during earthquakes without collapsing. As a result, the structures still stand today. Abandoned after only 100 years, the city disappeared into the jungle until explorer Hiram Bingham brought it to global attention in 1911. Today, it thrives as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a destination for travelers worldwide.

Smartminting® Brings Machu Picchu to Life

Thanks to smartminting® 4.0 technology, the coin presents Machu Picchu in incredible ultra-high relief. Measuring 50 mm, the surface reveals terraces, stairways, and temples in stunning 3D detail. Selective colorization adds depth, making this miniature version of the “Lost City of the Incas” a work of art you can hold.
