Comment
One of three coins in series, all issued in 1999. Coin has partial gilding over solid silver base.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1999 Niue $5 Silver Elizabeth II (Pterois Radiata) coin is that it features a unique design of a sea creature, the Pterois Radiata, also known as the radiant sea fan, on the reverse side. This design is not commonly seen on coins, making it a distinctive and interesting feature of this particular coin.
