Gold Quarter Ounce 2022 Classic Superheroes - Aquaman, 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.

This coin featuring Aquaman is part of an extensive New Zealand Mint series featuring DC Comics characters.

The Mint says about it:
King of the Seven Seas, Aquaman stands strong on an exquisitely engraved ¼oz gold coin! The design highlights a powerful close-up of the hero, with his iconic emblem beside him. Some relief and texture, using sandblasting, further enhance the design which stands out beautifully against the mirror-finish background.

This special piece is held inside a high-quality coin case, with an outer box featuring an eye-catching illustration of Aquaman. A Certificate of Authenticity can also be found inside.
