Gold Ounce 2024 Australia at Night - Fairy Penguin, Coin from Niue
CoinGold Ounce 2024 Australia at Night - Fairy Penguin

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 Australia at Night series, and features the Fairy Penguin.

The fairy penguin, also known as the little penguin, is the smallest penguin species in the world and is native to New Zealand and southern Australia. With an average size of just 30 centimeters and a weight of around one kilogram, they are particularly adaptable swimmers and divers. Phillip Island in Victoria is home to Australia's largest colony, with over 30,000 breeding penguins on the Summerland Peninsula.
