2025 Niue 1 oz Silver Proof Colorized Human Body - Lungs

---

This intriguing silver coin represents the third release in an ongoing series dedicated to the complexity of the human body. Struck in one ounce of 0.999 fine silver, the design focuses on the respiratory system with a detailed and contrasting depiction of the lungs. The reverse of the coin presents a close-up view of a pair of lungs, utilizing a artistic contrast where the left lung is rendered in vivid color while the right lung remains uncolorized. The Latin term for lung, "PULMO", is inscribed alongside this anatomical illustration. On the obverse, the official coat of arms of Niue is displayed, accompanied by a blue strand of DNA that reinforces the biological theme of the series. This side also features the denomination of 1 Dollar, the 2025 year of issue, and the silver purity. Issued as legal tender backed by the government of Niue, this proof-quality coin has a limited mintage of 1,000 pieces.
