Interesting fact
The 2010 $2 Elizabeth II (Apostle Paul) coin from Niue is a unique and interesting piece due to its gold plating. The coin is made of .999 silver and weighs 31.103 grams, but what sets it apart is the gold plating that gives it a distinctive look. This plating is applied using a process called electroplating, where a thin layer of gold is deposited onto the surface of the coin using an electric current. This process not only adds a layer of gold but also helps to protect the underlying silver from tarnishing, ensuring that the coin remains in excellent condition for years to come.
