| | | | | Dear Kakashka | February 2010 |
| | | | 65 million years ago, New Zealand was a different place In March 2010 we'll be bringing you another celebration of our extinct natural heritage - New Zealand's gigantic prehistoric reptiles, as you've never seen them before!
The follow-up to our highly successful Giants of New Zealand collection, the Ancient Reptiles of New Zealand stamp and coin issue features five stamps and five coins that are larger than life. What's more, they come with some fantastic collectables that, as well as being interesting and informative for collectors, are sure to delight the youngsters in your life.
That's because the whole collection has been created as an explorer's field kit, as if we're actually observing and recording these amazing creatures in real life. It's a fascinating journey back through more than 65 million years, to when dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes roamed our land, seas and sky.
Take a look at our website to find out more about the range of collectables on offer, including a great-value presentation pack that comes with a map tracing the dinosaurs' migration to New Zealand, a ticket from our dinosaur discoverer and stickers of the five reptiles. You can also order a prestigious Limited Edition, written by a well known specialist in New Zealand's fossil heritage.
For the ultimate collection, I highly recommend that you order the Ancient Reptiles of New Zealand specimen-quality silver bullion coin set. Presented in an individually numbered, explorer-themed leather journal, this collection also includes a booklet packed full of information about the five reptiles, a map tracing the path of the dinosaurs, a passenger ticket to New Zealand and of course matching stamps. These coins would make a superb gift to last for generations.
Ancient Reptiles of New Zealand is one of those collections that truly appeals to all.
Order yours today, before it's as extinct as the reptiles it's all about!
Your sincerely
