Machu Picchu Bucket List 5 Oz Silver Coin 2025

The Bucket List coin series continues with one of the world’s most awe-inspiring destinations: Machu Picchu, the legendary Inca citadel high in the Andes of Peru. Built in the 15th century under the rule of Pachacútec, this architectural marvel sits at an altitude of 2,430 meters and is celebrated for its precision stonework, terraced design, and perfect harmony with the surrounding mountain landscape.

Unlike other ancient sites, Machu Picchu was constructed without mortar — each stone was fitted so precisely that the structures could withstand earthquakes, preserving the ruins for centuries. Abandoned after just 100 years, the city remained hidden until its rediscovery by explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911. Today, it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most iconic tourist destinations.

Thanks to cutting-edge smartminting® 4.0 technology, this coin transforms 5 oz of .9999 fine silver into a miniature three-dimensional tribute to Machu Picchu. With detailed engraving, artistic coloring, and a proof finish, collectors can now hold this cultural treasure in the palm of their hands. Limited to just 555 pieces worldwide, it is a must-have for both history enthusiasts and modern numismatists.
