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, bullion 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 - including this very large five ounces of silver format (abbreviated as 5 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum). This coin was issued to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the first commemorative coin of Australia, the 1927 Canberra Parliament Florin Florin, which was struck to commemorate the opening of the new Parliament House in Canberra in 1927 (hence it is known as the Parliament House Florin or the Canberra Florin). Its reverse design was by famed British coin designer George Kruger Gray. | ||||||||||||
