2012 - Niue 2 NZD - Lucky Coin - Horseshoe - Proof

Everything is nothing without good luck!

What are the ways to be lucky? In order to win good luck we gather all sorts of talismans and charms, such as horseshoes, four-leaf clovers, little elephants or ladybirds.

The Mint of Poland designed the most recognizable and universal symbols of luck on commemorative coins, “Lucky Coins”. What makes the series so original is the innovative technology, a transparent capsule placed upon a blank, containing a moving piece of silver, 24ct gold plated.

The coins were struck using Ag 925 blanks, in proof quality.

Collect all coins… for good luck!
