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.
This coin is part of a New Zealand Mint series dedicated to characters from famous movies and features Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series of books and films.
The Mint says:
"Possibly the most powerful wizard of all time, Albus Dumbledore features on this beautifully engraved 1oz silver coin. On one side it shows a close up of the great wizard himself with wand in hand accompanied by his fiercely loyal Phoenix, Fawkes.
The legal tender status of the coin is confirmed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II effigy on the other side.
The coin is housed in a sturdy wooden coin case, ideal for display, which is placed inside a Harry Potter-themed box showing the original coin image in colour." |

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.
In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).
Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: ELIZABETH II NIUE TWO DOLLARS 2020.
