Gold Quarter Ounce 2014 Sachin Tendulkar, Coin from Niue
CoinGold Quarter Ounce 2014 Sachin Tendulkar

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 a quarter ounce of gold (abbreviated as 1/4 oz Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum).

This coin was issued as part of a small series to "honour the biggest cricketing legend in the world" - Indian player Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar has been the most complete batsman of his time, the most prolific run maker of all time and the biggest cricket icon the game of cricket has ever known. He holds almost every batting record worth owning in the game, including those for most runs, most hundreds in Test matches and One Day Internationals (ODIs). He also has the most international runs.

With the announcement of his retirement from Cricket in November 2012 and a tearful farewell at his home cricket ground at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, he drew his 24-year illustrious career to an end.

Obverse
Niue / Gold Quarter Ounce 2014 Sachin Tendulkar - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: NIUE ISLAND · QUEEN ELIZABETH II · 5 DOLLARS 2014 ·.

Obverse Inscription NIUE ISLAND · QUEEN ELIZABETH II · 5 DOLLARS 2014 ·

The reverse design of the coin shows a map of the world, with overlaid stitching like that of a cricket ball, in the foreground of which the silhouette of the player with his bat raised.

Around above, the inscription SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR; around below, WORLD’S GREATEST BATSMAN.

On the right, between the inscriptions, a circle with the numeral 10. In a circle on the left, the EIC mint mark of the East India Company; the letters are separated by arrows radiating from the centre around which they are situated.
