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 Pisces 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.
Radiantly beautiful and extremely attractive personages displayed on a background of cosmic distances, transparent water and the moon light, go to the head and literally enchant the spectator, forcing to press oneself close to the picture as to the spring and enjoy them again and again. The Pisces Zodiac Series silver coin is struck by The New Zealand Mint and is decorated with out of this planet artwork of Yutaka Kagaya.
Usually Pisces are depicted looking in different directions, meaning the conflict between the body and the soul of the human being. There is no more complicated heart than the ″heart″ of Pisces - it is wide, mysterious, and incomprehensible as the sea. It is inhabited by the variety of impulses. People of the given zodiac sign are often torn between two life pathways being the saint and the sinner merged into one. |
