Detailed description
Hot Air Baloon
The unique shaped silver coin issued by the State of Burundi for 2023, weighing 2 Oz of the purest 99.9% silver, is inspired by the first hot air balloons.
The reverse of the shaped coin depicts the first hot air balloon of the Montgolfier brothers. The surface of the coin is decorated with blue metallic lacquer. The details on the balloon are gilded so that the bright decorative draperies, the sun with rays, the interconnected eagles and cherubs can stand out. Two waving figures can be seen from the bottom of the balloon.
The worldwide beginning of ballooning is considered to be June 5, 1783, when the first hot air balloon of the Montgolfier brothers (Joseph-Michel Montgolfier and Jacques Étienne Mongolfier) took off in France with an animal crew on board. When it was discovered that there were no poisonous gases in the atmosphere, this opened up flying to human passengers. The era of air navigation was launched on 21 November of the same year by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and François Laurent d'Arlandes, who remained in the air for 25 minutes.
The obverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of the Republic of Burundi with the inscriptions 'IBANKI YA REPUBLIKA Y' UBURUNDI', the face value '25 FRANCS', the year of issue, the weight and fineness of the coin.
This unique shaped coin comes in a gift box with a certificate of authenticity, in a limited edition of only 1,783 pieces for the whole world!
