2 oz Silver Coin - Warfare - Hussars - 2018
### Warfare - Hussars (3.) 2 Oz Silver - Antique Finish - 3rd and final Issue of the Warfare Series - Rimless Coin - Antique High Relief Design - 99,99% Silver - Limited Mintage only 2,000 pieces - Numbered Certificate - In original Box with Certificate of Authenticity The third and final release in the **Warfare Series** features the hussars. The term hussar emerged in Hungary during the 15th century to describe a class of elite and light cavalry. With fast, agile horses, they were invaluable scouts and skirmishers who also provided mobile flanks for heavy cavalry. Struck by The Perth Mint from *2oz of 99.99% pure silver*, the design of the coin portrays hussars charging towards infantrymen during the Napoleonic Wars. Wearing their distinctive uniforms, the moustachioed horsemen have their sabres raised aloft in readiness to strike the enemy. The coin's obverse portrays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination '2 DOLLARS' and the 2018 year-date. To capture the stunning intricacies of the design, the coin was struck in high relief to a rimless format. The surface has been 'antiqued' by hand to give it a unique finish. As a result of this treatment the appearance of each coin in the limited mintage may vary. An immersive 360˚ panoramic illustration of the battle is represented on the coin. The image can be automatically viewed on any smartphone by tapping the phone against the NFC chip embedded in the certificate, then placing the phone in 3D VR goggles. The Perth Mint will release no more than 2,000 of the Hussars **high relief silver coins**.
