Detailed description
Silver Coin with Crystal - Scarab
A unique silver coin issued by the State of Niue for 2022 and precision minted by the Polish Mint from the purest 99.9% silver and plated with niobium, weighing 17.5 g and featuring a revered symbol from ancient Egypt - the scarab.
The reverse of the silver coin depicts the scarab in the traditional form of an amulet. The sacred beetle with outstretched wings rolls a ball which, according to the ancient Egyptians, is the source of new life and at the same time an image of the sun travelling across the sky. The sphere is made of crystal, which is the purest form of a group of precious stones called Quartz. As such, quartz makes up approximately 60% of the Earth's crust, yet pure crystal is highly sought after by mineral collectors and people interested in natural healing. Crystal was thought by the ancient Greeks to be petrified ice. The motif also includes a lotus flower decoration at the top. In the religious cult of plants, the lotus had a similar significance to the scarab. The flowers, which open in the morning and close for the night, are associated with the sun and symbolize creation, rebirth and regeneration. Selective colouring is applied to part of the design using digital printing techniques.
The obverse depicts a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley along with the artist's initials and inscriptions "ELIZABETH II", "NIUE ISLAND", purity, denomination, year of issue and mint mark.
The coin comes in a presentation frame with a certificate of authenticity. The mintage is limited to 600 pieces for the whole world!
