| Aanvullende informatie |
The Battle of Salamis in 480 BC was a decisive Greek naval victory over the Persian fleet of Xerxes I, won largely through the strategic deception of Themistocles, who lured the Persians into the narrow strait where their numerical advantage became a liability. Ancient sources — Herodotus and Aeschylus, who reportedly fought there himself — put Persian losses at around 200 triremes. Niue has issued commemorative silver under its own authority since the 1990s, leveraging its New Zealand Crown dependency status to produce coins that circulate nowhere but sell internationally as bullion collectibles.
