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 shows a Red-Bellied Black Snake. Snakes have always frightened people. There are countless movies and books where characters have terrifying encounters with them. Most of us have come across these slithering creatures in our own lives, too. When you see a red-bellied black snake, chances are you will freeze in fear. These are truly intimidating-looking serpents even though they are quite shy and prefer to be left alone. And while they are venomous, luckily no deaths have ever been reported from red-bellied snake bites. | ||||||
