Gold Quarter Ounce 2022 Classic Superheroes - Batman, 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 Batman is part of an extensive New Zealand Mint series featuring DC Comics characters.

The Mint says about it:
The World’s Greatest Detective, Batman features on this fully engraved 1/4 oz gold coin! It displays a close-up of the DC super hero in a powerful stance and his iconic Bat Emblem next to him. Some relief and a mirror finish beautifully accent the gold! As legal tender, the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Queen Elizabeth II can be found on the obverse.

The coin sits inside a high-quality coin case, which is encased in a box featuring Batman-themed imagery. The box also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity which shows the coin’s unique serial number in the mintage.
