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 Sagittarius 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.
Sagittarians are under the influence of planet Jupiter. They are very sociable and companionable people, distinguished by directness in relationships with others. Archers are inveterate travellers, always possessing something childish in their nature they do not want and do not try to see the seriousness in life. Whatever Sagittarius is his true nature can be highlighted by few words - a generous and cheerful idealist. If Archer set his sights on something, he shoots higher than the rest of the people can see, past the stars, where all dreams are born. |
