The South Pacific island country of Niue is excited to present the third release of this colored silver proof premium series Tarot Cards - The High Priestess. Although somewhat of an unusual coin theme, the Tarot and Major Arcana is quite an intriguing subject, with its history beginning around the 15th century Europe. Tracing the Tarot card deck from the earliest use for simple card games, on to the occult uses that the deck is generally more widely known, the history and popularity continued to spread over the centuries. This 2021 Niue Tarot Cards - High Priestess 1oz Silver Colored Proof coin continues the intrigue of both the series and theme.
As introduced by The Mint,
This incredibly fine third offering of the Niue Tarot Cards colored proof series introduces card number Two of the Major Arcana deck, The High Priestess. The overall design is phenomenal and the colorization, absolutely stunning!
The coin is rectangular (vertical orientation), in the shape of a card. As a legal tender offering of Niue, the obverse displays the Ian Rank-Broadly effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II within an inset. Inscriptions include "ELIZABETH II . NIUE . TWO DOLLARS . 2021." An attractive pattern encircles the rim, as it normally would on a deck of cards.
The reverse of this 2021 Niue Tarot Cards - High Priestess 1oz Silver Colored Proof coin depicts the High Priestess more as a fortune teller. She is sitting at the head of her reading table with cards arranged before her as she reveals the deep secrets of her deck. Inscriptions include the roman numeral II within a small circular inset at the top of the card. The number references the third card of the deck as II because the first card of the deck, The Fool, does not bear a number. At the bottom of the card is displayed, "THE HIGH PRIESTESS . FORTUNE TELLER."
As a low mintage, premium offering of Niue, this remarkable 2021 Niue Tarot Cards - High Priestess 1oz Silver Colored Proof coin is presented in custom book-style packaging. The meaning behind this card number Two and the Certificate of Authenticity is also included.
