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 one ounce of gold (abbreviated as 1 oz Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum). This coin is part of the Deadly and Dangerous series featuring native Australian animals, and is a gold version of the silver piece of the same year showing a Stingray. Stingrays (scientifically: Dasyatis) are characterised by their flat and diamond-shaped body, the skeleton of which is made of cartilage rather than bone. The name of the ray is due to the venomous sting located on its whip-like tail. If the ray feels threatened, it uses the sting to defend itself. Due to the venom and the barbed sting, an attack by the stingray is not only extremely painful, but can also be fatal under certain circumstances. | ||||||
