The Pressburg Mint's 2022 Chronos Silver Coin will be the eighth issuance in the series, which is struck in .9999 pure silver, is Brilliant Uncirculated and limited to 30,000 coins worldwide.All the coins are contained in separate protective plastic capsules.It is a $6 New Zealand Dollar with government backing.Each year the series features a single theme, all based on the theme of time itself — the time reading is always 5 minutes to midnight with the motto PANTA RHEI.
Obverse — Queen Elizabeth II and the Clockwork
The obverse features the Queen's Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the fourth official effigy of Queen Elizabeth II for Commonwealth coins, which was designed in 1998 and shows the Queen facing right with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.The high level of detail in the images on the left and right flanking the portrait, depicting clock movement mechanisms (gears, wheels and escapements), creates a sense of the Queen's effigy surrounded by elements that represent the passage of time and the sovereign's authority.The background becomes filled with a decorative and complex geometric design, with a high degree of symmetry. The rim is completed with a laurel wreath band.The name "ELIZABETH II · TOKELAU 2022 · 1 OZ FINE SILVER 9999" is included on the inscription.
Reverse — The Clock Face
On the back, there is an old-fashioned clock face with hour numbers in Roman numerals written in Old English letters.Exceptions are all standard Roman numerals except the 12 which is substituted with the chemical symbol of the element silver, Argentum, in Latin.The clock hands are set at 11:55, or five minutes to midnight. The same time is used in each of the annual releases of the Chronos, and can be seen as a recurring theme throughout the series.There is a background field with intersecting circles in a kaleidoscope pattern. On the obverse is a geometric design repeated in the rim. Inscriptions: CHRONOS, 6 DOLLARS, Ag.
The title of the series is taken from the Greek primordial god of time, Chronos.Chronos is not to be confused with Greek deity Kronos (or Cronus), the Titan and father of Zeus. They are separate entities: Kronos is a member of the Titan family in the genealogy of the gods; Chronos is a cosmological concept, time as a force in the universe, a later artistic figure—an old man holding a scythe or an hourglass.In Greek cosmology, Chronos sometimes was termed the primal force, even before the gods, the source of all that comes after, time as the condition and, perhaps, the cause of all things.This is important; this coin series is named after the concept of time as a universal force, not after a figure in the Olympian genealogy.
The slogan of the Chronos series is "PANTA RHEI" (all things flow) in Greek.It is said to have been coined by the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus (~535–475 BCE), who believed that change is the only thing that is real. His most popular quote of this is: "You can't step in the same river twice, for the river is the same, but you are not.
Time for Heraclitus is not a static background but is the “process of perpetual change.” All of what seems stable is at any given moment becoming something else: birth, life and death are going on as one continuum. PANTA RHEI is a precise statement, when positioned on a bullion coin, it is the value of silver, the state of the markets, the state of people's portfolios — it flows.So the clock at 11:55 says it: Time is always moving, and it's always the same time on this series, because the point is the motion.
It got its name from Pressburg (historical German name for Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia) which was renamed Bratislava in 1919.Mint is located in Slovakia and mints a variety of legal tender coins under license from small sovereign and dependent territories, such as Tokelau.Tokelau is a three coral atoll dependent territory of New Zealand in the South Pacific with a population of about 1500.It strikes legal tender coins in New Zealand dollars, authorized in New Zealand. The Chronos series coins are legal tender in Tokelau with a face value of $6, NZD, and are government backed coins issued and circulated internationally as collectible bullion.
