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). The Barn Owl coin is the seventh design in the Australia at Night series of proof coins. The coin features selective platinum plating. The Australian Barn Owl (Tyto delicatula) is nocturnal and preys mainly on mice, rats, lizards, frogs, bats and insects. During the day it stays in tree hollows or rock crevices. As a very adaptable species, the occurrence of the barn owl is not limited to certain habitats. Thus, the owl is common in forests and steppes, but also in rocky or populated areas. A typical feature of the Australian Barn Owl is the pure white facial veil. It reaches a body size of up to 36 centimetres and a weight of up to 450 grams. | ||||||
