2023 Niue Sword Of Truth 1 oz. Fine Silver Coin BU

This design features a heraldic showcase of a Sword and Shield prominently featured in the middle. The Sword is simple yet imposing; the Shield sturdy and battle-tested. Surrounding the two is a stylized belt framing the coin with the weight and purity displayed. Around the rim is a striking weave of thorny vines, symbolizing a crown of thorns. At the very tip of the Sword is a snake which is barely visible to the naked eye. The Sword piercing a snake adds a compelling historical element which has ties to countless motifs from cultures throughout human history.

Something that may go unnoticed by some is the hidden “truth” featured on every coin, which is micro-engraved by the mint. This feature is a staple for every coin in the Truth series and adds value for many customers. For the new 2023 1 oz Silver Sword of Truth coin, a message that reads “and in truth” has been micro-engraved onto the hilt of the sword. Also seen on the shield is the Hebrew lettering “רוח קודש” which means “Holy Spirit”.

Struck at the prestigious Sunshine Mint, each coin contains one troy ounce of .9999 pure silver. Each coin also has a face value of two dollars, backed by the New Zealand government. The specifications of the coin, including "ONE TROY OUNCE" and the extraordinary purity of ".9999 FINE SILVER," are at the bottom of the reverse.
