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 characters and themes from popular culture.
This coin is part of a series representing Tarot cards.
The mint says about it: Our stunning Tarot Cards Coin Collection continues with the thirteenth release for The Hanged Man. This is card number twelve in the Major Arcana, portrayed wonderfully on this 1oz pure silver coin.
The Hanged Man represents pause, surrender, letting go and new perspectives. The card reminds you that sometimes you have to put everything on hold before you can take the next step. You need to step outside yourself and look at your situation from a different angle. Give yourself time to relax, stop trying to control things and just let them be, the correct course of action will become clear to you in time. |
