Silver Ounce 2021 Icons of Inspiration - Leonardo da Vinci, 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). This coin is the second release in the Icons of Inspiration series by APMEX and features Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most multi-talented figures in history. Da Vinci's works across all facets of art and science are some of humankind's most studied and cherished. A true Renaissance Man, Leonardo da Vinci was an Italian polymath known for his work as a painter, engineer, architect, theorist, scientist and sculptor. His best known work, the Mona Lisa, is considered the most famous piece of art in the world. Other pieces by da Vinci include The Last Supper and The Vitruvian Man. Perhaps the most alluring aspect of da Vinci's art is the mystery and intrigue surrounding their meanings. Historians have spent centuries debating hidden symbology and subject matter in his works. In addition to his work as an artist, da Vinci is regarded as one of the most influential inventors and theorists in history. He is credited with sketching and studying predecessors to many tools and machines we use today, most famously his flying machines, architectural innovations, and vehicles for war. | ||||||||||||
