Gold Quarter Ounce 2023 Marvel - Black Panther, 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 is part of a New Zealand Mint collection featuring Marvel characters, and is dedicated to Black Panther.

T'Challa Udaku aka Black Panther is the protector and king of the hidden but technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda and later a member of the Avengers superhero team. With the help of his supernatural powers, which he acquires through the ceremonial consumption of a heart-shaped herb, as well as his special suit with vibranium claws and night vision optics, he does his part within the group around Captain America and Iron Man to protect humanity and stands out through a particularly pronounced relationship with Capain America and Hawkeye.
