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).
Lady and the Tramp coin is part of the Disney Cinema Masterpieces series by the New Zealand Mint.
The mint says about it: One of the greatest love stories, Disney’s Lady and the Tramp is reborn on this stunning 3oz pure silver coin!
The coin shows a beloved scene, in full colour, where the two dogs are on a romantic evening and share a plate of spaghetti. Along the bottom is a film scroll with a mirror finish, showcasing a lovely montage of all your favourite characters from the movie. You’re sure to fall in love with this piece! Engraved on the obverse is the Public Seal of Niue, confirming the coin as legal tender.
Officially licensed, each coin arrives in a high-quality box, themed with adorable character imagery. Inside, the box is lined with velvet and the coin sits in an acrylic capsule for further protection. A Certificate of Authenticity and the coin’s unique number in the mintage of only 2,000 is included on the back. |
