Description
The World War 1 Heroes of Niue 1 oz Silver coin
commemorates the 149 Niue recruits (from a population
of only 4,000) who joined the New Zealand Expeditionary
Force in October 1915. Many of these men perished due to
lack of immunity to illnesses and the harsh European cold.
Niue commemorates the contribution and sacrifice made by
these men, with annual ANZAC Day (Memorial Day)
services held on April 25. The tragedy of this unique story
is tempered with pride that their nation and men participated.
2015 marks the 100th Anniversary of these Niuean Heroes
leaving their homes to serve their country.
This beautifully designed 1 oz Silver coin which combines
antique finish with a subtle use of colour. The relief engraving
symbolically features a warrior in traditional costume, kneeling
in remembrance of the Niuean heroes who lost their lives in
World War One. Two blood-red Poppies honour the ultimate
sacrifice made 100 years ago by these brave men.
The World War One Heroes of Niue, 1 oz Silver Coin comes
presented in a classic wooden coin case and printed outer
packaging, along with a Certificate of Authenticity. This special
coin has a limited mintage of 1,915 coins only.
