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).
The mint says about this coin: This magnificent 3oz pure silver coin features a coloured image of Disney’s Mickey & Friends, in a warm embrace. Behind them is a frosted film scroll showing some of the crew’s fun adventures. Some charming motifs have been engraved along the bottom of the coin, and to top it off, there is a beautiful mirror-finish background. It sure is swell!
Officially licensed, the packaging is custom designed with delightful character imagery around it. Flip the box open, and you’ll find the coin nestled in velvet and encased in an acrylic capsule for further protection. Printed on the back is a Certificate of Authenticity and the coin’s unique serial number. |
