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 silver coin is part of the Universal Gods series by the Czech Mint, and is dedicated to Apollon (also spelled as Apollo). The mint says about it: He was the god of light - not only the sun rays, but also the light of knowledge and truth. He protected the herds and pastures that were the source of life, and helped found cities that were centres of reason and art - music, poetry, and dance. | ||||||
