This $7-face-value commemorative coin issued by Niue was struck in pure silver. The coin has a diameter of 34.00 mm. Based on the beautiful hand-drawn XVII-century map created by the eminent Dutch cartographer Willem Janszoon Blaeu, this ravishing masterpiece of monetary art combines past and present in its extraordinary design and shape – the Seven New Wonders of the World are marked on the historical map with elegant crystals.

– „The Mint of Poland continues its nearly 250-year-old tradition. Yet, our brand is considered a token of innovation. Thanks to ambitious projects and unclichéd approach towards their realization, high-end technologies and highest craftsmanship, our products are pioneers in the field of numismatics.” – said Grzegorz Zambrzycki, the President and CEO of the Mint of Poland.

In order to create a spherical coin, the Mint of Poland has implemented the most innovative technologies. The first stage was to prepare and evaluate a 3D-model of the coin. To assure its ideally spherical shape and map the images on it, engineers created a special 6-element die.

“Seven New Wonders of the World” is not the first product of innovation struck at the Mint of Poland. During last years’ „World Money Fair”, the company presented a 3D-coin in the form of a pyramid, and one – issued on the occasion of the canonization of John Paul II – in the form of a cube.
