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 premium bullion coin is part of an APMEX series featuring characters from the Godzilla movies, and is dedicated to Kong from the Godzilla vs. Kong film.
APMEX says about it: APMEX has teamed up with Legendary Entertainment and TOHO to release a collection of officially licensed products to celebrate the next epic chapter in the cinematic Monsterverse, Godzilla vs. Kong. Featuring two of the greatest icons in motion picture history, the stunning Gold and Silver coins in this assortment have extremely limited mintages.
Directed by Adam Wingard, legends collide in Godzilla vs. Kong as these colossal adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages. Godzilla vs. Kong is a sequel to Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Kong: Skull Island. Godzilla vs. Kong marks the 36th film in the Godzilla franchise and the 12th film in the King Kong franchise. After being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Godzilla vs. Kong has a theatrical release of 31 March 2021, where it will be available in theaters and on HBO Max. |
