| Aanvullende informatie |
Niue's arrangement with the Perth Mint has made it one of the more prolific bullion and commemorative issuing authorities in the Pacific, lending its name to coins that have no meaningful circulation relationship with the territory itself. This piece falls squarely in that category — a legal tender designation of convenience, with the real market being collectors of Asian-themed silver.
The Flying Apsara motif draws from Khmer and broader Southeast Asian Buddhist iconography, figures found carved across the sandstone galleries of Angkor Wat.
