Niue Vivat Humanitas 2023, 1 oz Silver Coin

Silver investment coin in a limited mintage of 100,000 pieces.

Vivat Humanitas is a series of silver bullion coins whose images refer to the greatest works of human civilization. The latest coin in the series alludes to ancient Greek architecture, both remnants and influences of which can still be seen today. This architecture influenced the development of European architecture and beyond, providing the foundation for many later architectural styles. Its most characteristic features are the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns, which are a fundamental element of Greek buildings.

On the reverse of the Vivat Humanitas silver coin, we see one of the most recognizable elements of Greek architecture, the Ionic column, placed in the center. On it is placed an eye inscribed in an ornamental shield. In the background behind the column we see a group of Greek sages, as well as the Parthenon building. Around it we see the name of the currency, and at the bottom, on the ribbon, the weight and silver content. On the obverse we see the Niue coat of arms, along with the denomination and date of issue.
