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 and themes from the Lord of the Rings books and films, and features The Shire. The Mint says about it: Created in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, the coin is made from .999 pure silver and is legal tender. The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II can be found on the obverse. It arrives nestled in velvet, inside a themed, modern and compact box. A Certificate of Authenticity is printed on the back of the box which also carries the coin’s unique number in the mintage. | ||||||
