Comment
Dolphins are fascinating and downright social animals, especially the Eastern Pacific dolphin (Spinner Dolphin). The name derives from “to spin”; these animals jump high out of the water and spin around their own axis like a spinning top. The beautiful sea mammals congregate in groups that vary from just a few dolphins to great numbers up in the thousands. The body length of one of these dolphins lies between 1.20 and 2.30 meter and can weight up to 80 kilograms.As a surfer would ride a wave, the playful and acrobatic sea dwellers are known to „ride“ the bow waves of boats and ships. These coins are homage to all dolphins, for who knows how long they will still enrich our ocean.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Niue 2009 $2 Silver Spinner Dolphins coin is that it features a unique "spinner" design, where the dolphins are depicted swimming in a circular motion, giving the illusion of movement when the coin is turned. This innovative design was created by the mint using a special technique that involves layering different elements on top of each other to create a 3D effect. This coin is a sought-after collector's item, not only for its unique design but also for its high-quality silver content and limited mintage.
