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 silver coin is dedicated to the Lunar Year of the Snake 2025, the sixth animal in the Chinese zodiac calendar.
The mint says about it:
According to the Chinese calendar, the Snake symbolises wisdom, intelligence, and longevity. It is also associated with quick thinking and fortune. Nevertheless, snakes are considered mysterious beings for a reason. They can crawl in complete silence, leave without a trace, and have a venomous sting, which makes them dangerous and intimidating. The Snake represents both the depths of human intellect and the potential for hidden motives; thus, it should not be taken lightly.
Embracing the virtues of Snake symbolism can inspire us to cultivate wisdom, adaptability, and resilience in our own lives. The Snake’s ability to shed its skin serves as a powerful reminder of the potential for personal transformation and renewal. It also teaches about a delicate balance between mystery and openness.
The Year of the Snake coin is an encouragement to turn 2025 into a year of wise decisions. It is an exceptional reminder to renew our thoughtful resolutions and intelligent way of life. |
