I had a few of New Zealand Mint Sputnik 50th Anniverary coins available prior to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation show last year and they went pretty quickly.

These are the New Zealnd Mint .999 silver coins presented in an earth globe that when opened, has a small speaker that plays the "beep beep beep" heard while Sputnik was in orbit. The batteries can be removed to (a) prevent them running out and (b) stop anyone going mad while the coin is on display!

I've managed to secure three more and they are both available at US $135 each including Air Post to the US or Europe. New Zealand post are pushing up their international shipping prices on 7 July 2009 so this might be a good chance to get them while the postage is cheaper!

I've found one more of these in the attic - mint condition and new in box (never opened)

I will need to remove the battery before shipping to meet international shipping requirements.

Asking US $155 - the increase is due to the increased shipping costs since I originally posted 8 years ago! Payment via PayPal with buyer covering fee please.
