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 is excited to present the 2022 Jurassic World 2oz Silver Antiqued Mosasaurus Shaped Coin.
This coin is struck in a unique shape to replicate a detailed portrayal of Mosasaurus, an immense seagoing lizard - and not an actual dinosaur; she uses her fearsome array of teeth to catch fish, birds and other marine reptiles. The coin’s surface has been "antiqued" by hand to give it a unique finish.
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. With four successful sequels and a fifth due in 2022, the multi-billion-dollar franchise known as Jurassic World is treasured by fans of all generations. |
