2019 Niue 1 oz Silver $2 Hawksbill Turtle

---

This striking silver coin from 2019 highlights the natural beauty of the ocean by featuring the hawksbill turtle, a critically endangered marine reptile. Known for their preference for coral reefs and coastlines, these turtles migrate to tropical beaches to nest. While they roam the warm waters of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans, they are also occasionally spotted near New Zealand. The coin is struck from one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver. Its design captures a stylized depiction of a hawksbill turtle gliding through shallow waters, surrounded by tiny, rising bubbles. The word TURTLE is inscribed alongside the metal content. On the opposite side, the coin features the classic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank Broadley. This face of the coin includes the year 2019, the issuing nation of Niue, and the denomination of two dollars.
