2 oz Pure Silver Coin – Niue Island 2020 – 5 Dollars with 0.1 oz Pure Silver Note/ Certificate of Authenticity – Niue Island 2020 – 25 Cents
The first animal in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac, the rat has long been regarded as a symbol of cleverness, fertility and wealth. This auspicious animal was specifically chosen as the focal point for this fine-silver collectible. Long whiskers show its agility, with bright eyes and sharp ears that reflect strong energy, spirit and wit.
The matching of 6 and 9 together also forms the Yin Yang symbol – 6 representing gentleness of the Yin, and 9 representing the strength of the Yang. This coming together of the two completes a harmonious union of all the energy in one’s self and the universe, and is believed to breed wisdom and positivity.
Struck in ultra-high relief and complemented with antique finishing, the regal illustration of the rat combined with the lucky numbers 9 and 6 bring this piece to life.
This is a limited edition of 96 pieces only. Each piece is packaged and delivered with the Certificate of Authenticity which comes in the form of a silver note, made in 0.1 oz of 999 pure silver. The obverse of both coin and certificate features the legal tender of Niue Island, the official effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
