Gold Tenth-Ounce 2016 Charles Emmanuel of Žerotín, 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 tenth ounce of gold (abbreviated as 1/10 oz Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum).

This coin is part of the four coin Lords of Žerotín noble family set by the Czech Mint and is dedicated to Charles Emmanuel of Žerotín.

The Mint says about it:
Charles Emmanuel of Žerotín (1850-1934) was the last male member of the Moravian branch of Žerotíns; he had three daughters, so with his demise the male line became extinct. During his life he was an active politician, he served as a member of the Moravian Provincial Assembly and the Imperial Council and at the beginning of the 20th century was also the Moravian governor.
