Niue, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar is the circulation currency for daily transactions, while the government also authorises legal tender coins in the Niue Dollar currency for collector's purposes.
A number of mints issue a large variety of commemorative and collector coins under the authority of Niue. These coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Niue itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes - such as a half ounce of gold (abbreviated as 1/2 oz Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum).
This coin is part of a bullion series by Bulmint issued for Niue, and features the legendary Phoenix, a symbol of immortality and renewal.
The phoenix, a mythical bird revered across various cultures, embodies the powerful themes of rebirth, renewal, and immortality. This legendary creature is often depicted as a magnificent bird with radiant plumage, bursting into flames at the end of its life cycle, only to emerge reborn from its ashes, symbolising an endless cycle of regeneration. Throughout history, the phoenix has been a symbol of resilience, transformation, and the enduring spirit of life's continual renewal. |
