Certified a flawless Proof 70 (PF70) by NGC, each coin exhibits mirror-like precision and pristine craftsmanship, with no imperfections visible under magnification. Its First Release designation confirms that it was among the earliest examples struck and submitted, further enhancing collectability.
Limited to a symbolic 1,865 pieces worldwide, this release honors not only the mountain’s grandeur but also the indomitable spirit of those who dared to conquer it.
