The Western world's highest mountain remained a mystery until 1852, when surveyors stumbled upon it during their cartography of India. Although it may seem irresistible to climbers, it took multiple attempts before the successful first ascent by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary in 1953.
Our silver coin collection, featuring a 2 ounce and 1 kilo edition, commemorates this incredible achievement and includes a hidden tribute to the mountain with micro-writing and a representation of the original ascent route in the form of a dotted line.
