Pompeii 3 oz silver coin CI 2025

2025 Cook Islands Pompeii 3 oz ultra high relief silver coin proof. In 79 AD, the volcano Vesuvius erupted and destroyed Pompeii, a thriving Roman city that was close to where Naples is today in Italy. The explosion buried the city under a thick layer of ash, pumice, and lava, which didn't come back to the surface for hundreds of years. Since the tragedy is still going on, Vesuvius is adding 15 cm of rock and dust to the city every hour. People quickly have to leave the homes where they had sought safety. You can't open the doors anymore. The dust cloud is now 30 km high, and the lava is slowly but surely moving down into the valley. It's impossible to breathe because the hot air is blocking your lungs. There are rocks in the harbor that make it hard to get away across the water. More than 2,000 people die horribly in the end. The ashes preserved streets, houses, everyday items, and even the holes where the bodies of the dead were buried. Later, these were made visible through plaster casts, showing the last moments of a city that was doomed. This beautiful 3 oz silver coin from Pompeii shows the terrible moment when the volcano erupted. Vesuvius is shown on one side in relief, which is almost 10 mm high thanks to the smart way the coins were made. The dangerous lava flows that are making their way into the city at the volcano's base are easy to see. Two gladiators fighting in the ring nearby have no idea that danger is coming their way. In terms of both history and technology, this Pompeii 3 oz silver coin is a great example. The Pompeii 3 oz silver coin can only be made in 499 pieces around the world. The Pompeii 3 oz silver coin you buy will come in a presentation box with a proof of authenticity.
