2015 2 oz Silver Coin - Biblical Series (David & Goliath)

---

This striking silver piece represents the third entry in a six-part series dedicated to dramatic biblical narratives. Struck in two ounces of fine silver, the coin features a rimless, high-relief format that allows the detailed engraving to extend fully to the edge, creating an immersive, sculptural depth. The reverse side portrays the young David standing triumphantly before his army, holding the head of the fallen giant, Goliath. This powerful composition draws its artistic inspiration directly from the famous nineteenth-century illustration by Gustave Doré, translating his classic artwork into a three-dimensional metallic medium. To ensure uniqueness, each individual coin features its own specific serial number, from 1 to 1499, laser-etched directly onto the edge to match its official documentation. On the obverse, the coin displays the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Raphael Maklouf. Surrounding the portrait, the inscriptions confirm the issuing authority of Niue, the two-dollar face value, the 2015 year of issue, and the weight and purity of the metal, reading ELIZABETH II, QUEEN NIUE, TWO DOLLARS, 2oz, and FINE SILVER 999.
