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 Disney-themed silver coin is dedicated to Halloween. The mint says about it:
Halloween is undoubtedly one of the most exciting times of the year, and Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse are masters at celebrating this spooky holiday in style! Dressed in their enchanting costumes, the pair transform into charmingly spooky characters that will bring a smile to children and adults alike. With hearts full of joy and a sense of community, they know that Halloween will always be an extraordinary day - a day filled with magic, friendship and unforgettable experiences. |
