Remarks:

Pièce conservée dans une capsule et présentée dans sa boîte, sans certificat d'authenticité.

This 2 dollar coin is issued by the island of Niue in 2021. It is struck in pure 999? silver and weighs 31.1 grams, which is exactly one troy ounce. Its diameter is 41.58 mm. The coin is struck to Proof (BE) quality, guaranteeing sharp reliefs and mirror-like fields characteristic of this level of finish.

The theme of this coin is the cherry blossom, an emblematic motif of Japanese culture symbolising spring renewal. The depiction of this flower features a coloured treatment applied to the relief, providing a particularly detailed and faithful rendering of the delicate hues associated with this bloom. The contrast between the colouring and the polished silver surface enhances the legibility and precision of the design.

The obverse features the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England and the Commonwealth, in her capacity as Head of State of Niue, a territory associated with New Zealand. This royal effigy is accompanied by the usual inscriptions relating to the sovereign as well as the face value of 2 dollars, the official currency of the island of Niue.

The coin is housed in an individual protective capsule preserving its surface condition and preventing any direct contact that could alter the striking quality. It is also presented in its dedicated case. Please note that this coin is offered without a certificate of authenticity.
