Silver Ounce 2020 Aquarius, 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 have a Zodiac-inspired theme.

This silver one-ounce coin features the Aquarius sign of the Zodiac.

The Mint says about it:
"On this coin, we can see the depiction of the water bearer, the mystical healer who bestows water, or life, upon the land and represents the Aquarius. This astrological sign belongs to the element of air and thus an Aquarius-born person uses his mind at every opportunity. If there is no mental stimulation, he or she is getting bored and lacks motivation for achieving the best result. People born under Aquarius are, on the one hand, shy and quiet, but on the other hand, they can be eccentric, energetic, independent, creative, and outgoing. They are also deep thinkers and highly intellectual people who are fond of helping others!"

Finish: antique, selective copper plating, engraved wooden insert.
