1987 Bermuda 1 oz Palladium Sea Venture Proof
1987 Bermuda 1 oz Palladium Sea Venture Proof
In 1987, Bermuda issued a distinctive legal tender coin struck in one full troy ounce of highly pure (0.999 fine) palladium. This proof-quality release highlights a significant maritime theme, combining precious metal artistry with the island's rich nautical legacy. One side of the coin features the Sea Venture, the historic sailing ship associated with Bermuda's early history, alongside the year of issue and the face value of twenty-five dollars. The inscriptions on this face include the words "TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS", "ONE OUNCE PALLADIUM", and "999", marking its weight and purity, alongside the ship's name "SEA VENTURE" and the historical year "1609". The other side displays the classic bust of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II" and "BERMUDA". This issue was limited to a mintage of 20,000 pieces, making it a fascinating subject of study for those interested in modern palladium coinage and Caribbean numismatics.
