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 flora themes (various plants).
The 2021 1 oz Enchanting Cherry Blossom Silver Proof-Like Colour Coin is the fifth issue in the World Enchanting Flower Series by the Singapore Mint.
Appreciated for their beauty, flowers are infused with significance and meanings derived from their names, distinctive characteristics and rich mythologies. The cherry blossom is a symbol of renewal and optimism as its blooming signifies the beginning of spring. It is sighted in many countries and regions like America, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. The beautiful pink flowers coat these lands in a magical and picturesque beauty every springtime. |
