The 2023 Sword of Truth Niue 1oz Silver Bullion Coin comes in a protective Coin capsule

COIN INFORMATION

This coin is part of the Truth Coin Series, produced by SD Bullion since 2018 and struck by Sunshine Minting. The series initially consisted of a Roaring Lion of Judah design and a Tree of Life design, issued every year. To this, two new designs were added in 2022: the Ram of Calvary, and the Sword of Truth.

This design features a heraldic showcase of a Sword and Shield prominently featured in the middle. The Sword is simple yet imposing; the Shield sturdy and battle-tested. Surrounding the two is a stylised belt framing the coin with the weight and purity displayed. Around the rim is a striking weave of thorny vines, symbolizing a crown of thorns. At the very tip of the Sword is a snake which is barely visible to the naked eye. The Sword piercing a snake adds a compelling historical element which has ties to countless motifs from cultures throughout human history.

Something that may go unnoticed by some is the hidden “truth” featured on every coin, which is micro-engraved by the mint. This feature is a staple for every coin in the Truth series and adds value for many customers. For the new 2023 1 oz Silver Sword of Truth coin, a message that reads “and in truth” has been micro-engraved onto the hilt of the sword. Also seen on the shield is the Hebrew lettering “רוח קודש” which means “Holy Spirit”.

The reverse: of the coin depicts a sword over a shield, surrounded by a stylised belt and – near the rim – by a crown of thorns. At the tip of the sword is a very small snake being pierced by it. On the hilt of the sword is a micro-engraved inscription which reads And in Truth, In the lower part of the shield, divided by the sword, the inscription רוח קודש (Holy Spirit in Hebrew), Around below, the precious metal content: ONE TROY OUNCE .9999 FINE SILVER.

The obverse: of the coin features the (unofficial) “Public Seal of Niue”. It has what looks like a plant arrangement at centre, within a double ornamental circle, itself surrounded by a circle of sea shells. This is crowned with St Edward’s Crown (a symbol of the United Kingdom, the monarch of which is ultimately the Head of State of Niue), Around above between the two, the inscription PUBLIC SEAL OF NIUE. Below that, a ribbon carries the motto ATUA NIUE TUKULAGI on two lines, below which two crossed katoua (Niue fighting clubs), Around above, the face value TWO DOLLARS. Around below, the date of issue 2023.
