Silver Ounce 2024 The Lion King - Scar, 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).

This gold plated silver coin is part of a large range featuring Disney characters, and is dedicated to the 30th Anniversary of The Lion King; it features Scar from the film.

Scar, one of the most iconic characters from “The Lion King”, is not only the antagonist of the story, but also a complex character with a deep personality and tragic motives. As Mufasa's younger brother and Simba's uncle, Scar harbors a deep resentment towards his brother for depriving him of the throne of the Consecrated Land. His glowing green eyes and the distinctive scar over his left eye give him a menacing appearance that reflects his devious nature.
