1oz Niue Year of the OX Gold Coin (2021)

Niue, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar is the circulation currency for daily transactions, while the government also authorises legal tender coins in the Niue Dollar currency for collector's purposes.

A number of mints issue a large variety of coins under the authority of Niue. Most of these are commemorative and collector issues dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to Niue itself. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes, including one ounce of gold (abbreviated as 1 oz Au, where "Au" comes from the Latin word for gold, Aurum). Those issued at prices much higher than their bullion value are separately listed in the Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) gold ounce section of the site.

This coin is part of a New Zealand Mint series of 1oz gold bullion coins and is dedicated to the 2021 Chinese Lunar Year of the Ox.

"The 1oz Gold Year of the Ox Coin - Niue 2021 features the image of a Chinese paper-cut ox with lucky bamboo in the background. This is framed by an ornate border. The Chinese character for "ox" is also included on the coin reverse along with and the metal weight and quality. This coin is all the more significant as 2021 is the year of the Metal Ox."
