Niue New Zeland Fiji Taku Coin - 1 oz

The New Zealand Mint Fiji Taku Silver Coin is a captivating and beautiful tribute to the endangered hawksbill turtles (aka takus) that make Fiji their home. Struck by The New Zealand Mint, these turtle have been honored on this series of silver coins.

Hawksbill turtles are a true marvel of the ocean, gracing the tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Renowned for their slender, beak-like mouths, these turtles are also easily recognized by the stunning, overlapping scales on their shells, which boast a unique and vibrant color pattern. Their preferred habitats are coastal regions and coral reefs, where they seek out sponges, their primary food source.

Each year, Hawksbill turtles embark on awe-inspiring migrations, journeying from feeding areas to tropical beaches where they nest. They travel from Fiji to New Zealand, with occasional sightings as far south as Cook Strait. However, they are most commonly found in the crystal-clear, shallow waters of New Zealand’s upper North Island, along the island’s picturesque continental shelf.

Unfortunately, despite their natural beauty, Hawksbill turtles are critically endangered, largely due to human activities. These turtles are still hunted for their exquisite shells, which are highly sought after by collectors around the world. Their shells, known for their rich patterns and vibrant hues, are prized in the creation of luxury items, despite global conservation efforts.
