"Seven New Wonders of the World" is the first spherical coin minted by Mint of Poland! Based on the beautiful hand-drawn XVII-century map created by the eminent Dutch cartographer Willem Janszoon Blaeu, this ravishing masterpiece of monetary art combines past and present in its extraordinary design and shape - the Seven New Wonders of the World are marked on the historical map with elegant crystals. The Mint of Poland has taken the next step towards conquering the third dimension of the coin universe. In order to create the spherical coin "Seven New Wonders of the World", our minters, well known for their exquisite craftsmanship implemented the most innovative solutions into the technological process. Thanks to a specially created 6-element die they succeeded not only in creating the ideally spherical shape of the coin, but also in adorning it with intricate relief images.
