{"product_id":"kruzenshtern-1-12-oz-silver-coin-2026","title":"Silver Nautical Ounce Coin: Kruzenshtern 2026, 1\/12 oz","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShe was launched in 1926 as the Padua — the last of 66 cargo ships built by Hamburg's F. Laeisz, and for two years running the fastest square-rigged sailing ship in the world. After World War II, she was surrendered to the Soviet Union as war reparations and renamed Kruzenshtern, after the Baltic-German explorer Adam Johann von Krusenstern. Nearly a century later, she's still sailing — one of the largest active tall ships afloat, and in 2026, this release marks her 100th anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the tenth entry in the Nautical Ounce series, a collection that's spent nearly a decade putting history's most storied sailing vessels on silver — from the Santa Maria at launch to last year's HMS Victory. The obverse shows the Kruzenshtern under full sail, a stylized compass set behind her, with the ship's name, the 2026 year-date, and nautical instrument detailing worked into the rim. The reverse carries Rwanda's official seal alongside the coin's face value — the issuing authority behind the series, even for a ship with no connection to the country itself, is part of what makes these releases collectible curiosities as much as bullion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 1\/12 oz (2.6 grams) of .999 fine silver, this is the smallest denomination in the series — a genuinely accessible entry point for anyone curious about the Nautical Ounce line without committing to a full ounce, or looking for something small enough to gift, stack in quantity, or simply add as a low-cost piece of a themed collection. Each coin ships in its own protective sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTenth release in the Nautical Ounce series, marking the Kruzenshtern's 100th anniversary\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/12 oz (2.6g) of .999 fine silver — the series' smallest, most accessible format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObverse features the Kruzenshtern under sail with a stylized compass; reverse carries Rwanda's official seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips in an individual protective sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Private Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65297172660573,"sku":null,"price":15.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/3459\/6445\/files\/Kruzenshtern.png?v=1787380296","url":"https:\/\/purexprecious.com\/en-eu\/products\/kruzenshtern-1-12-oz-silver-coin-2026","provider":"Pure x Precious","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
