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). The Cougar vs Bear coin is the second design in the Apex Predators Collection, and features a powerful bear entangled in a fight with a cougar. It is (mostly) gilded (gold plated). Grizzly bears and cougars are known to be solitary animals and have very similar diets. They often have to share a habitat on the North American continent, which leads to competition for food, resources and territory. | ||||||
