2022 Niue 1 oz Gold $250 E.T. 40th Anniversary (w/ Tin & COA)

In 2022, a remarkably scarce gold coin was issued to celebrate four decades of the beloved cinematic masterpiece, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Struck from one troy ounce of 0.9999 pure gold, this legal tender release from the island nation of Niue has an incredibly small mintage of just 250 pieces worldwide, making it an exceptionally rare find for enthusiasts of film history and modern coinage. The front of the coin features a striking depiction of the night sky, dominated by a massive full moon. Silhouetted against the lunar surface is the unforgettable image of Elliott and E.T. riding their bicycle through the air. This side also incorporates the official coat of arms for Niue, alongside the 2022 year of issue and the 250 dollar denomination. On the reverse, the gentle alien E.T. is depicted with his finger raised and pointing toward his illuminated heart. This side of the coin also displays the official movie logo and a special privy mark celebrating the 40th anniversary of the film. Running along the outer border, fine inscriptions note the weight and purity of the gold, alongside the copyright details for Universal City Studios LLC, confirming the official nature of this commemorative tribute.
