Silver Ounce 2022 Classic Superheroes - Aquaman, 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 featuring Aquaman is part of an extensive New Zealand Mint series featuring DC Comics characters.

The Mint says about it:
The King of the Seven Seas shines in 1oz pure silver! An iconic DC Classic, Aquaman stands strong holding his Trident in a fantastic engraving. His emblem is beside him along with an illustration of him propelling through the water at full speed. Frosted and mirror-like finishes further enhance this incredible design. Found on the obverse is the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll, to confirm the coin as legal tender.

Created in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, the packaging features powerful imagery of Aquaman. Open the box to find it lined with black velvet encasing your special coin, and in an acrylic capsule for further protection. On the back is a Certificate of Authenticity and the coin’s unique number in the mintage of 5,000.
