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 Gollum. The Mint says about it: This coin is legal tender. It arrives in a quality coin case with a Certificate of Authenticity which also shows the coin’s unique serial number and guarantees the purity of the silver. A magnetised insert allows the coin to stand upright in the case for display. The themed outer box also has the coin image replicated in full colour on the base. | ||||||
