Silver Two Ounces 2021 Jurassic World - Blue the Velociraptor, 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 - for example, two ounces of silver (abbreviated as 2 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum).

To celebrate the Jurassic World Film franchise, The Coin Company presents the 2021 Jurassic World 2oz Silver Antiqued Blue the Velociraptor Shaped Coin.

This coin is struck in a unique shape to replicate a detailed portrayal of Blue the Velociraptor, a dinosaur featured in the Jurassic World films, named for the iridescent blue stripe running down her body. The coin’s surface has been ‘antiqued’ by hand to give it a unique finish. The coin enclosed is produced under licence by The Coin Company Australia as legal tender under the authority of Niue.

Cult classic Released in 1993, the Academy Award winning film Jurassic Park directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton received critical and commercial success, becoming that year’s highest grossing film.
