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).
This coin is part of a range dedicated to Ancient Calendars, and features the Hebrew Calendar.
In Judaism, time is measured from the day the world was created. The rhythm of life is determined by prayer, biblical holidays, moon watching, and sunsets. This coin has the image of the Hebrew zodiac signs and the Jewish names of the months. |
