| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a high-relief scene depicting Patrick Henry's famous speech before the Virginia Convention of 1775, with a central standing figure — arms raised in passionate oratory — surrounded by a gathering of colonial-era delegates, some with hands raised in affirmation. The dramatic composition fills the entire field. The curved legend GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR GIVE ME DEATH arcs along the upper periphery, while the historical date 1775 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue has become one of the Pacific's most prolific licensing hubs for commemorative coinage, contracting designs to outside mints and collecting royalties while the New Zealand dollar handles all actual commerce on the island. This piece borrows Patrick Henry's March 1775 speech to the Second Virginia Convention — delivered roughly six weeks before the first shots at Lexington and Concord — as its thematic anchor.
Copper-nickel at this weight and diameter puts it squarely in the modern bullion-adjacent commemorative category, struck for collectors rather than circulation.
