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 dedicated to the 30th Anniversary of the Power Rangers.
The mint says about it: The Power Rangers franchise debuted in 1993 with the series, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and quickly became a global phenomenon. The original rangers consisted of Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini, Kimberly, and later Tommy, who were chosen by the wise sage Zordon to defend earth from the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa and her minions. The show was known for its action-packed fight scenes, colourful costumes, and catchy theme song, and remains a beloved part of fans’ childhoods.
Officially licensed, each memento comes in a specially designed display box. It shows a visually striking image of the Power Rangers and the anniversary logo, making it the perfect accompaniment to your coin inside. A Certificate of Authenticity and the unique serial number are also provided. |

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. Around below, the date of issue 2023. |
