Silver Ounce 2014 Magic: The Gathering, Coin from Niue - detailed information

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 feature famous movie characters.

Magic: The Gathering is the first and most widely played trading card game with more than 12 million players and fans in more than 70 countries worldwide (as of 2014). This coin is intended as a collector gift for these fans.

Struck in precious metal, this coin features the powerful Jace, the Mind Sculptor Planeswalker card from the Magic: The Gathering Worldwake release. Jace Beleren is a Planeswalker who wields blue magic. His speciality is mental magic: spells of mind-reading, illusion, knowledge, and deception. Curiosity has always gotten the better of Jace Beleren. As a specialist in mind magic, he uses his abilities to find out even closely guarded secrets. His mind magic has helped him discover the existence of Planeswalkers and of worlds beyond his own.

This coin face features original colour artwork by artist Jason Chan. This art was used on the powerful Jace, the Mind Sculptor Planeswalker card from the Magic: The Gathering Worldwake release. Jace is depicted against a relief engraved background and border design.
