Gold Quarter Ounce 2020 Back to the Future, Coin from Niue - detailed information

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). Many of these feature famous movie characters.

The "Back to the Future" trilogy directed by Robert Zemeckis inspired millions of cinema visitors in the 1980s and still enjoys cult status today. In 2020 the science fiction classic about the time travel of the mad scientist Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown and the young Marty McFly celebrated its 35th anniversary.

To this special occasion this low mintage coin struck from a 1/4 ounce 99.9% gold was issued. The design features the legendary DeLorian, which is converted into a time machine in the film.
