2018 (1768-) Solomon Islands $25 Captain Cook's Voyage of Discovery 5 oz Coloured Silver Coin in Chest Display Box
Captain Cooks legendary voyage on the iconic HMS Endeavour remembered
Transport-themed coin issued in celebration of 250 years since the commissioning of the iconic ship of exploration, HM Bark Endeavour.
Commissioned on 26 May 1768, although launched as ‘Earl of Pembroke’ some four years previously, Endeavour was a type of vessel called a Bark. Traditionally a sailing vessel with three or more masts, mainly rigged square, the Royal Navy used the term more loosely, denoting a Bark a ship as a non-descript vessel that didn’t easily fit into the more traditional categories. Endeavour weighed around 365 tons and was 30 metres in length. She was fully-rigged with almost 2,800 sq.m of sail and could make 7-8 knots at full speed. The crew complement was 94 and she carried 10 4-pdr guns.

Design
The coin design makes no changes from those that have come before. A border holds all the inscriptions, just the coin name and the denomination, while the centre is filled with an image formed in a blue mother-of-pearl inlay. The image this time is one of the Endeavour at sea and under full sail. The colour and choice of design seem to fit the subject matter extremely well and we look forward to seeing one in the flesh.
The obverse is the obligatory effigy of QEII as it’s issued for the Solomon Islands.
