CoinSilver Two Hundred Grams 2025 The Punk Universe - Silkpunk

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 based on the troy ounce, but some are in the metric system and go to the large size of one quarter of a kilogram (250 grams) of silver.

This coin is part of The Punk Universe series, and features Silkpunk.

The mint says about it:
"This numismatic piece is an impressive example of minting craftsmanship, blending themes of Asian culture, mechanics, and technology in the unique Silkpunk aesthetic. This style harmoniously combines traditional Far Eastern motifs with a modern, biomechanical vision of the world. Thanks to the use of ultra-high relief, each detail stands out with exceptional clarity and depth, enhancing the three-dimensional and precise effect."

Obverse

The obverse of the coin features the official Public Seal of Niue.

It has an inner circle of hiapo designs, representing the fonua (land), within which are stylised designs of a tree, representing life and tagata Niue (the people of Niue), surrounded by an outer circle in the form of a traditional Niuean garland of 14 seashells (representing the 14 villages of Niue), and crowned with St Edward's Crown (of the United Kingdom), representing the sovereign as head of state.

Around above between the two circles, the inscription PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE. Below, a ribbon carries the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI on two lines (meaning "God, Niue Eternally"), below which two crossed katoua (Niue fighting clubs).

The seal is smaller than usual and is above the centre of the design.

Below, a Japanese-styled scene with ancient architecture in the foreground and a modern city skyline in the background, behind which a mountain. Above left, futurist fighter jets. Around above, several representations of the Moon.

Around above, the face value 15 DOLLARS, followed by the precious metal content 200 G AG 999 (two hundred grams of 99.9% silver).

Around below, the name of the country and the date of issue: NIUE 2025.

Reverse

The reverse design is coloured, and is "rimless" (extends to the edge of the coin with no surrounding rim). At its center is the figure of a warrior, stylized according to the Silkpunk aesthetic. The warrior is depicted kneeling on one knee, head bowed, and hands clasped together holding a sword.

"Every element of his attire and equipment has been rendered with extraordinary precision." Notably, the biomechanical armor - metallic inserts on the shoulders, hands, and left leg - evokes associations with intricate mechanisms at the intersection of armory art and advanced technology.

The background of the reverse is rich in detail. On the left, there’s architecture inspired by the Far East - with clearly outlined red rooftops resembling traditional Asian buildings. On the right, a tower is surrounded by glowing, spiral-shaped clouds from which ornamental patterns emerge, referencing classic Eastern design.

Around above, the inscription SILKPUNK.
