Gold Ounce 2023 Azure Kingfisher, Coin from Niue - detailed information

Gold Ounce 2023 Azure Kingfisher, Coin from Niue
CoinGold Ounce 2023 Azure Kingfisher

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 2023 Azure Kingfisher Gold Proof Coin is a celebration of the king of Australia’s rivers - the exquisite Azure Kingfisher.

The Azure Kingfisher makes its home along the banks of coastal and inland rivers, swamps and mangroves. Cloaked in stunning blue, violet and orange plumage, it darts upon prey in a flash of colour from branches above the river or forest floor, and can dive so quickly that it can cut through the ice on a frozen lake! These diminutive, yet glamorous, birds are found along Australia’s northern and eastern seaboards, as well as Tasmania.

Obverse
Niue / Gold Ounce 2023 Azure Kingfisher - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin features the official Public Seal of Niue.

It has an inner circle of hiapo designs, representing the fonua (land), within which are stylised designs of a tree, representing life and tagata Niue (the people of Niue), surrounded by an outer circle in the form of a traditional Niuean garland of 14 seashells (representing the 14 villages of Niue), and crowned with St Edward's Crown (of the United Kingdom), representing the sovereign as head of state.

Around above between the two circles, the inscription PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE. Below, a ribbon carries the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI on two lines (meaning "God, Niue Eternally"), below which two crossed katoua (Niue fighting clubs).

Around left, the precious metal content 1oz 9999 GOLD (one troy ounce of 99.99% gold); around right, the face value 100 DOLLARS. Around below, the date of issue 2023.
