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 - typically, one ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum). Many of these have a Zodiac-inspired theme.
This rectangular silver ounce coin featuring the sign Gemini is part of a twelve-coin series dedicated to the Signs of the Zodiac and illustrated, in full colour, with drawings by famed Japanese artist Yutaka Kagaya.
The mercurial transformations of a Gemini’s mood and expression are as fascinating to observe as the psychedelic shades and lights in pictures created by Yutaka Kagaya. It is not easy to tell where reality ends and illusion begins. They go together - then they separate. In this sign there are always two people, and the changes in his/her character is very interesting to watch.
Man or woman, Gemini can effortlessly get out of any situation, they are impatient with conservatives and can be acutely satirical with people who cannot make up their minds where they stand on particular questions. Gemini trust only themselves. They are rather strangers in this planet. |
