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.
The Mint says about this coin:
One of the most horrifying movies ever made, The Exorcist, is now part of our Warner Bros. Chibi Coin Horror Series. The coin is a coloured and shaped Chibi version of Regan as she appeared towards the end of the movie, fully possessed! As a Niue legal tender coin, it features the Public Seal of Niue on the obverse along with confirmation that the coin is indeed 1oz of pure silver.
With packaging to match, this is a devilishly perfect collectible for any fan of this cult classic movie. A window in the box allows you to easily display the horror inside! However, if you do want to take it out for a close-up, the coin is further protected by a specially designed case moulded to its shape. With a mintage of only 2,000, each coin comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a unique serial number on the box. |

The obverse of the coin features the official Public Seal of Niue.
It has an inner circle of hiapo designs, representing the fonua (land), within which are stylised designs of a tree, representing life and tagata Niue (the people of Niue), surrounded by an outer circle in the form of a traditional Niuean garland of 14 seashells (representing the 14 villages of Niue), and crowned with St Edward's Crown (of the United Kingdom), representing the sovereign as head of state.
Around above between the two circles, the inscription PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE. Below, a ribbon carries the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI on two lines (meaning "God, Niue Eternally"), below which two crossed katoua (Niue fighting clubs).
Around above, the face value TWO DOLLARS. The date of issue 2022 is below the seal.
On four lines below, the copyright information: THE EXORCIST and all related characters and elements © & TM Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. (s22)..
Near the bottom, the precious metal content: 1 oz 999 Fine Silver (one troy ounce of 99.9% silver). |
