Silver Ounce 2021 Nightmare Before Christmas - Sally, 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 characters from famous movies, and features Sally from Disney's The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The Mint says about it:
"This beautifully engraved and coloured coin celebrates Disney’s classic movie Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Made from 1oz pure silver, this antiqued coin is both engraved and coloured featuring the lovelorn rag doll amongst an array of imagery synonymous with Sally and the movie. See if you can spot spooky pumpkins, a needle and thread, a spider, Sally’s cat, gravestones, a red rose and the poison bottle used on Dr Finkelstein!

The engraved obverse includes a swirling design behind the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and confirms it as a legal tender coin.

This rectangular coin arrives in custom-made book-style packaging designed to complement. A large window in the front means you can easily display this stunning collectible without having to remove it from the packaging. The Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the back."
