In 2017 to celebrate Disney Pixar Cars first released in 2006, the New Zealand Mint released a very special Limited Issue Tow Mater $2 Two Dollar Silver Proof Coin struck in solid fine .999 Silver weighing one ounce of pure Silver.
The reverse of the coin features a coloured image of Tow Mater the rustiest, trustiest tow truck in Radiator Springs, against an engraved background of the Radiator Springs countrysidewhile the obverse depicts Ian Rank Broadley's portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II .
Mater loves tractor tippin’, helping out stranded cars, and most of all, hanging out with his best friend, Lightning McQueen. Mater is great at driving backwards, because he doesn’t need to know where he’s going as long as he knows where he’s been! These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
Limited Mintage of 10,000 Coins Worldwide
Finished to New Zealand Mint's Proof Quality
Struck in Solid Fine .999 Silver Weighing One Ounce of Pure Silver
