Silver Ounce 2025 Harry Potter Magical Creatures - Nagini, 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 characters and themes from popular culture.

This coin is part of the Harry Potter Magical Creatures series, and features the snake Nagini.

The mint says about it:
Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels by J.K. Rowling following the life of young wizard Harry and his friends as they navigate the wizarding world and the rising evil of Lord Voldemort. Crucial to the plot of the series are the magical creatures who aid Harry in his journey.

Nagini is not just an ordinary animal, but a "Horcrux", a magical object in which a part of Voldemort's soul is hidden, making it an essential part of his immortality. Throughout the series, Nagini is portrayed as a dangerous and terrifying creature that aids Voldemort in his evil deeds. Her connection to him is deep and complex, as she is not only a tool of his will, but also an embodiment of his power and influence.
