Silver Ounce 2024 Disney Princess - Jasmine, 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 Jasmine.

Jasmine is one of the main characters in the Disney film “Aladdin”, which was released in 1992. She is the headstrong and courageous princess of Agrabah, a fictional kingdom inspired by oriental architecture and culture. Jasmine is known for her intelligence, strong will and desire for independence. She resists the traditional expectations placed on her as a princess, especially the idea that she must marry a prince she does not love. She is not only a beautiful princess, but also a woman actively seeking her own truth and freedom. Her iconic costume - a turquoise ensemble with a golden tiara - and her faithful companion, Rajah the tiger, are also signature features that make her one of the most recognizable Disney princesses.
