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, or are based on the troy ounce - for example, three ounces of silver (abbreviated as 3 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum).
This coin featuring Green Lantern is part of an extensive New Zealand Mint series featuring DC Comics characters.
The mint says about it: The Green Lantern Corps are one of the most powerful and respected intergalactic peacekeeping forces in the DC universe, and now you can bring their power to your collection with this 3oz pure silver coin!
Part of our DC Classic Coin Collection, this impressive piece features Green Lantern in a mighty stance. Behind him is a detailed illustration of a comic montage, featuring other images of the hero. On his side includes the Green Lantern symbol and further artwork of him ready to serve some intergalactic justice. To top it off, there is a beautiful mirror finish background. As legal tender, the obverse displays the Public Seal of Niue.
This special piece comes in custom-designed packaging featuring epic imagery of Green Lantern. Printed on the back is a Certificate of Authenticity to ensure that it is genuine and is created in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products. The unique serial number of the coin in the mintage is also provided. |
