Silver Ounce 2024 Disney Princess - Cinderella, Coin from Niue - detailed information

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 called Disney Princess featuring Disney animated film characters, and is dedicated to Cinderella.

The 1950 film tells the story of a young woman who breaks free from the oppression of her step family and wins over the prince with her beauty and virtue. The fairy tale story is intended to show that it is not only outward appearance that counts, but also inner values such as kindness, diligence and honesty.
