Niue – 2025 – 1 Dollars – Fairy Tale (Fairy Tales series) 1oz silver

Description

This 1 oz silver coin, titled “Fairy Tale,” represents the second release in a numismatic series inspired by the artwork of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, one of Lithuania’s most influential cultural figures. Based on “Fairy Tale. Painting II from the Triptych,” the coin reflects Čiurlionis’ fusion of music, art, myth, and national identity, presenting a soft, symbolic dream-world characteristic of European symbolism at the end of the 19th century. The reverse reproduces the painting through vivid pad-printing, enclosed in a modern square format that mirrors Čiurlionis’ ethereal style—where landscapes dissolve into imagination and storytelling. The obverse displays the Public Seal of Niue, engraved with 1 Dollar, Ag 999, and 2025, creating a traditional counterpart to the artistic reverse. The coin is struck in proof-like quality, measuring 37×37 mm, and crafted from Silver Ag 999 with a strictly limited mintage of 300 pieces. As highlighted in the visual layout, the presentation box frames the artwork like a miniature gallery piece, emphasizing its appeal to collectors seeking culturally rich, symbolist-inspired designs rather than conventional bullion themes. This release stands out for its artistic depth, national heritage significance, and refined modern minting.
