Silver Ounce 2020 Cancer, 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 Cancer sign of the Zodiac.

The Mint says about it:
"On this coin, the Cancer astrological sign is represented by the crab. It belongs to the element of Water. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. People born under Cancer are primarily known for being emotional, nurturing, and highly intuitive, as well as sensitive and at times insecure."

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