2018 2 oz Silver Coin - Biblical Series (Jesus Scourged)

---

This striking two-ounce silver piece from 2018 brings a powerful biblical narrative to life through high-relief, rimless artistry. As the second release of its year in the Biblical Series, the coin features a detailed depiction of the flogging of Jesus during his trial before the crucifixion. The design is inspired by the historic artwork 'Jesus Scourged' by Gustave Doré, a theme reinforced by the inclusion of the biblical passage John 19:1 on the accompanying documentation. Struck from 0.999 fine silver, the coin has a distinct physical presence. Each individual piece features its own unique serial number, from 1 to 1499, laser-etched directly onto its edge, marking its place within the highly limited production run. The obverse displays the classic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Raphael Maklouf. Surrounding the portrait are the clear inscriptions indicating the issuing nation of Niue, the face value of two dollars, the 2018 year of issue, and the weight and purity of the precious metal, reading 'ELIZABETH II', 'NIUE', 'TWO DOLLARS 2018', and '2oz 999 FINE SILVER'.
