2020 Niue 1 oz Gold $250 Celestial Animals Snake (w/Box & COA)
Struck in one ounce of 0.9999 fine gold, this 2020 issue from Niue is a remarkable exploration of traditional Chinese cosmology. Part of the Celestial Animals series, the coin highlights the Yellow Snake, a figure deeply rooted in the ancient practice of feng shui. In this belief system, celestial animals are linked to specific colors, directions, and natural elements, with the Yellow Snake representing the Earth element. The obverse of the coin displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, alongside the 2020 year date and the face value of 250 Dollars. On the reverse, the design showcases the Yellow Snake itself, accompanied by inscriptions detailing the weight and purity of the gold. With a worldwide mintage of just 100 pieces, this Brilliant Uncirculated coin stands as an incredibly scarce and fascinating artifact of modern numismatic art.
