Thomas Alva Edison
With 1,093 record breaking patents, Thomas Alva Edison was one of the greatest inventors in history. Born in Milan, Ohio, but living a large portion of his life in West Orange, New Jersey, Edison is probably best known for inventing the incandescent light bulb, in which he failed 2,774 times before finally breaking through! He also created the phonograph and the motion picture camera, as well as made major contributions in improving the telegraph and telephone. He died a folk-hero to many, as his life epitomized the American Dream. He lived a rags-to-riches story as he overcame his partial deafness, and through hard work and determination, became a world-renowned inventor and an icon.

The motive: was designed by coin designer Joel Iskowitz and features an image of Thomas Edison with a phonograph. The invention of the apparatus, which can transform sound waves into mechanical traces and reproduce them, dates back to 1877 and made Edison world famous. The signature of the inventor is also included in the design.

The reverse: displays a triumphant image of a muse stretching her arm towards the sun. Also included in the design is the official coat of arms of Niue, as well as the denomination, year of issue, weight and fineness.
