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 The Flash is part of an extensive New Zealand Mint series featuring DC Comics characters.
The Mint says about it:
The Flash returns on a beautifully engraved 1/4 oz gold coin! It features a close-up of the hero striking a powerful pose, accompanied by his lightning bolt emblem. These exquisite details are enhanced with a frosted finish which contrasts perfectly with the mirror background. As legal tender, the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II can be found on the obverse.
The coin sits inside a high-quality coin case, which is encased by a themed box of The Flash, perfect for display. |

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: ELIZABETH II NIUE 25 DOLLARS 2022.
