In June New Zealand Mint introduced its first oval-shaped coins with the Airship Collection, a group of coins marking famous flying machines of the world.
The coins feature Britain's R-34, the Russian CCCP-B6, the USS Akron and Germany's Hindenburg. The full color airship illustrations each have a background showing the capital city of the ship's nation portraying the 1930s art deco period of the time.
The 99.9 percent silver coins are $2 legal tender of Fiji Islands. They are each 1 troy ounce and measure 45 by 31 mm. The collection has a restricted mintage of 20,000 sets for worldwide distribution.
