Gold Quarter Ounce 2024 Marvel - Iron Man, 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 Iron Man.

Behind the advanced armor of Iron Man is billionaire Tony Stark, one of the most influential people on Earth. After being captured by the warlord Wong-Chu in Vietnam, he built his first battle suit to escape and ensure his survival. Since then, he has acted as a do-gooder together with the other Avengers and is characterized by his outstanding intelligence and technical know-how.
