Silver Five Ounces 2021 Federation Jubilee Florin, Coin from Niue - detailed information

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 2021 · TEN DOLLARS · 5 OZ 999 SILVER ·.

The inscription around the rim also incorporates the precious metal content. "5 OZ 999 SILVER" means "five troy ounces of 99.9% silver".

The reverse design depicts a sceptre and sword crossing below the Crown of St Edward and above the Federation Star with the stars of the Southern Cross around. All of these design elements are selectively gold plated.

Around above, AUSTRALIA; around below (and split into two parts by a star), the denomination FLORIN.

Across the centre of the design lined up with the arms of the Southern Cross, the anniversary dates: to left, 1901 and to right, 1951.

Finish: proof, selective gilding.
Packaging: in wooden presentation box with illustrated outer shipper, with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

There is no primary information available about this coin; it seems that the coin was commissioned by Australian company Downies and struck by PAMP.
