2024 1 oz Proof Colorized Cameroon Silver Taxi Shaped Coin l JM Bullion™
The Mint says about this coin:
The history of taxis in NYC can be traced back to the 19th century when horse-drawn hansom cabs were prevalent. These were gradually replaced by motorized vehicles in the early 20th century, with electric cabs being among the first to appear, followed by gasoline-powered vehicles. New York City’s iconic yellow cabs take center stage on these shaped silver coins. Today, 2024 1 oz Proof Colorized Cameroon Silver Taxi Shaped Coins are available online at JM Bullion.

The first taxicab equipped with a taximeter appeared in New York City in 1907. This innovation allowed fares to be calculated based on both distance traveled and waiting time, making taxi services more standardized and efficient.

The reverse side of the 2024 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Taxi Shaped Coin comes with a depiction of a yellow NYC taxi. The iconic yellow color of New York City taxis became standardized in 1912. Taxi tycoon John Hertz was the first to paint his taxis yellow, reportedly after studying which color could be seen from the farthest distance. This distinctive color has since become synonymous with NYC taxi cabs.
