Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1998 Niue $5 Silver Wedding Anniversary coin is that it features a unique double portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. This coin was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Queen's wedding to Prince Philip, and the double portrait symbolizes the enduring nature of their marriage.
