2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Sea of Galilee

Niue has operated as a prolific bullion and novelty coin issuing authority since the 1990s, licensing its sovereignty to foreign mints — primarily the New Zealand Mint — to produce commemorative issues that have no meaningful circulation on the island itself. This piece belongs to a broader series embedding physical relics into coin flans, a format that gained commercial traction in the 2010s. The encapsulated stone is sourced from the shores of the Sea of Galilee, known in Hebrew as the Kinneret, the freshwater lake in northern Israel central to early Christian narrative and to the modern Israeli water supply system.
