Detailed description
Celtic calendar
The exclusive silver coin partially filled with semi-permeable resin issued by the State of Niue in 2020 in high relief weighing 2 Oz (62.2 g) in purity of the purest 99.9% silver with Antique Standard finish is inspired by the ancient Celts and brings an original take on the Celtic tree calendar.
The reverse of the coin is composed of several concentric circles. The centre is defined by a triskelion, three interlocking spirals. It is flanked by two circles decorated with a Celtic knot and other triskelions. A thirteen-month tree calendar filled with malachite resin filler follows. Each calendar month is symbolized by a different sacred tree (birch, crane, ash, alder, willow, hawthorn, oak, holly, hazel, vine, ivy, reed, elder) and is marked by the letter ogam. The outer rim of the coin is decorated with a Celtic knot design.
Celtic tribes inhabited vast European territories for hundreds of years. Depending on the area, they practiced different religions, worshipped different gods, used their own calendar system or perceived time differently. The well-known solar calendar was arranged in circles and repeated the daily, monthly and annual cycles. The day began with the sunset, the month with the new moon, and the year with the November new moon. The tree calendar was based on the life of natural tribes. The year was divided into thirteen sections and one nameless day. Each section is symbolized by a tree, which determines the character of the period and the characteristics of the persons born in it.
The obverse shows the traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain with the initials of the artist and the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II", "NIUE ISLANDS", the denomination and the year of issue. The background of the coin is covered with interlocking Celtic designs and symbols. It includes the purity data and the mint mark.
The coin comes in a presentation frame and is inserted on a cardboard sleeve, which also serves as a certificate of authenticity. The mintage is limited to 500 pieces for the whole world!
