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). This coin is part of the Solar System series of coloured proofs and features the planet Jupiter. The Mint says about it: Jupiter amazes with a number of fascinating moons. It has eighty of them and includes, for example, Europa, Io, Callisto and Ganymede, which consists of rocks and ice and is larger than the planet Mercury. Jupiter's magnetic field is extremely strong. On its surface there is a "Great Red Spot" - a giant hurricane that has been raging for 300 years and which would engulf three Earths... The medal makers Asamat Baltaev, DiS., and Jiří Hanuš, DiS. dedicated the reverse side of the coin to the depiction of Jupiter in vivid colours thanks to pad printing technology. Photographs or computer graphics were not used as a template for colouring - the medal makers created original watercolour paintings. The obverse side of the coin, designed by Asamat Baltaev, is dedicated to the depiction of the entire solar system and presents astronomical symbols of individual planets. The coin surface is characterised by a special treatment - a combination of proofing, sandblasting and laser treatment of the dies resulted in a new effect, which we called "moon dust". | ||||||
