Niue – 2025 – 5 Dollars – 1804 Draped bust silver Dollar (Greatest United States coins series) 2oz silver

Description

This stunning 2 oz Silver coin pays tribute to one of the most legendary coins in American numismatic history — the 1804 Draped Bust Silver Dollar, famously known as the “King of American Coins.” Though dated 1804, the originals were struck decades later in the 1830s as diplomatic presentation pieces, making them among the rarest and most storied U.S. coins ever produced. Only 15 authentic specimens are known, each with a provenance tied to royalty, diplomats, or elite collectors. This modern homage, issued by Niue as 5 Dollars legal tender, faithfully recreates the artistry and prestige of the original design. The obverse features the classic Draped Bust Liberty surrounded by 13 stars, with the date 1804 below, while the outer rim displays inscriptions reading “Niue Island,” “Five Dollars,” “2025,” “2 oz,” and “Ag 999.” The reverse bears the heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch beneath the motto “E Pluribus Unum,” framed by the legend “Greatest United States Coins” and a small American flag symbolizing national pride. Finished in exquisite Proof quality with selective gold plating, each coin gleams with historical reverence and modern craftsmanship. With a limited mintage of only 500 pieces worldwide, engraved serial numbers, and presentation in a display box with a Certificate of Authenticity, this release is a collector’s treasure — a silver masterpiece honoring a coin that defined the very concept of rarity.
