Silver Ounce 2020 Harry Potter - The Prisoner of Azkaban, 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.

This coin is part of a New Zealand Mint series dedicated to famous movies in the form of their original posters, and features Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.

The Mint says about it:
"This officially licensed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban™ movie poster coin is made from 99.9% pure silver and commemorates the third film in the Harry Potter series.

Colour and engraving have been combined in this dark and brooding replica poster. It shows heroes Harry, Ron, Hermione along with Scabbers and Sirius Black, who both feature prominently in this film.

The name of the movie shines out in silver. Made from 1oz of pure silver, this unique rectangular coin is placed in an acrylic display case that can be easily opened for a close-up of the coin."
