[INFO] 2022 1oz Niue $2 NZD Bitcoin Silver Coin

[nullama]

I just found this 2022 silver coin from Niue, a small island country near New Zealand. It's actually legal tender with a face value of 2 NZD, and it features a Bitcoin design. Although it doesn't have any kind of hologram or private key, it is a limited edition Bitcoin coin from an official country, so maybe someone here might be interested in it.





Here's a YouTube video showing the coin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_EWVfbKlGQ

The 1 oz Silver Bitcoin is the first coin in the crypto-currency series, it contains 1 oz of pure 999.9 fine silver, has a face value of 2 New Zealand dollars and can be used as legal tender. Its slick and innovative design makes for a truly unique and beautiful coin. Coin comes protected in acrylic capsule. Limited mintage of only 15,000 coins, making each coin exclusive and ensuring premium appreciation, buy yours now before it’s too late!

I stack precious metals as well as physical crypto pieces and in my experience pieces like this are very hit and miss. Most times, unless it has a low mintage, these command the highest price when they are first released and then steadily fall in price until a few years down the road you’ll find them in the “spot + $2” bin at any coin store. Obviously there is exceptions to the rule… that’s just my experience if one is looking for a good piece to invest in and hold value

Niue has released other bullion coins, specifically in both silver and gold.  They released a silver and gold coin in 2021 and already have the 2022 gold coin out, with plans on a 2022 coin. I am not sure if what you are showing is the 2022 silver version or if they will continue with the same design as they did with the gold. Interestingly the only difference (besides the date) on the gold is the denomination of 42mBTC vs 41mBTC, the silver has 1.3mBTC. These values represent the value of the metal at production. 

Here are my coins:

Definitely fun coins to pick up if you are a fan of BTC as well as precious metals. I think these are extra neato because they are government issued coins, not just silver/gold rounds with BTC on them.
