Silver Two Ounces 2023 Fierce Nature - Grizzly Bear, Coin from Niue
CoinSilver Two Ounces 2023 Fierce Nature - Grizzly Bear

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 the Fierce Nature series of specially shaped coins, and features the Grizzly Bear.

The grizzly bear belongs to the largest predator species in North America and can grow up to the size of 2.5 meters and weigh up to 600 kilograms. Because of its size and strength, the grizzly bear is seen by many cultures as a symbol of ferocity and strength. In the wild, the grizzly bear can live up to 30 years - but to this day, the threat from poachers is very high.
