Description

The Water Tiger coin consists of more than 2.8k tiny mirrors that are reminiscent of water droplets. At the heart of the reverse, there is an image of a majestic tiger head made of those mirrors. When the coin is turned, each tiny silver mirror dot reflects the light – just like the surface of the water twinkles on a sunny day.

 

The obverse contains a portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II. An advanced minting technology – relief – was used to manufacture the coin, making it unique and proving its premium quality. Each coin is sold in a special wooden box.

 

Do you wonder why HM Queen Elizabeth II or other symbols of Niue are depicted on the coin? Or maybe you want to know why do we mint dollars? Read more HERE.
