Silver Ounce 2021 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, 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 Half-Blood Prince.

The Mint says about it:
This is a unique memento for the sixth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. This replica movie poster coin features a combination of colour and engraving - allowing the silver to shine out from the dark and moody design. It includes heroes Harry, Ron, Hermione and, of course for this movie, Dumbledore.

The Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II can be found on the obverse to confirm it as legal tender. Don’t let the rectangular shape fool you, this is still a 1oz pure silver coin. It is protected by an acrylic display case that can be easily opened if you want to view the coin close-up.
