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, based on the troy ounce - such as the half ounce of silver format (abbreviated as 1/2 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum).
The Mint says about this coin: Coloured and engraved, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse lean in for a Christmas kiss on our 2022 Disney Season’s Greetings ½ oz coin. They are also shown dressed in festive clothes, holding gifts behind their back. The words "Santa Mail" and "You’ve Been Nice" are engraved around the coin, with a mirror-finish background as smooth as ice!
The coin is placed inside a custom-designed box, protected by a unique bauble-shaped coin case. |
