Interesting fact
The Frilled Neck Lizard coin from Niue is a unique and interesting collector's item, as it features a rare and endangered species. The Frilled Neck Lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii) is a large lizard native to Australia and New Guinea, known for its distinctive frill, which it can fan out when threatened or during courtship displays. By featuring this species on the coin, the Niue government aims to raise awareness about the importance of conservation and protecting endangered species. Additionally, the coin's gold content and high purity level make it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
