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 characters from the Lord of the Rings books and films, and features Legolas. The Mint says about it: The legal tender status of the coin is confirmed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II effigy on the obverse side. The coin arrives in a display-ready, quality coin case, which is placed inside a themed box showing the full-colour version of the coin image on the base. A Certificate of Authenticity is included showing the coin’s unique serial number and guaranteeing the pure quality of the silver. | ||||||
