Black Ferns 1oz Silver Proof Coin
The Black Ferns boast one of the best-winning percentages in international rugby, having won nearly 90 percent of their Test matches since the team’s inception. Among their accolades are five Rugby World Cups, winning in 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, and most recently in 2017. That same year ended with a landmark moment for women’s rugby when the Black Ferns became the first-ever women’s team to be named the World Rugby Team of the Year.
