2017 Niue 1/2 oz Silver $1 Hawksbill Turtle BU
In 2017, the island nation of Niue released a stunning half-ounce silver coin celebrating the natural beauty of the Pacific. Struck in 0.999 fine silver by the New Zealand Mint, this piece belongs to the beloved Silver Taku series, showcasing a brilliant uncirculated finish that highlights the intricate details of its maritime theme. The coin's main face captures a stylized hawksbill turtle navigating shallow coastal waters, surrounded by a trail of delicate bubbles. Inscriptions bordering the scene confirm the purity and weight, reading "TURTLE" alongside "FINE SILVER 0.999 1/2 OZ". On the opposite side, the coin features the classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, indicated by the small initials "IRB". This side carries the issuing country name, "NIUE", the year "2017", and the face value of "ONE DOLLAR", anchoring this beautiful wildlife tribute as official legal tender.
