I'm still on the evening posting schedule, so I apologize if you've been waiting around for hours for my post. If that's you, let me know in the comments below.
Tonight's coin is a 2018 Double Dragon from Niue. It is one ounce of silvery goodness.
As you can see, the other side depicts the Queen. It carries a face value of Two Dollars. Because Niue is uses the New Zealand Dollar as their currency, that means these are NZD. In case you were wondering, $2 NZD is approximately $1.33 USD at today's exchange rates.
This is one that I've seen before and hadn't really considered getting, but when I saw it on sale, I decided to jump at the chance. It's one that I think will appreciate if they continue to make the dragon series. It could be one of those that is a hidden gem right now, but gains value over time.
Do you have any Dragons?
Thats nice

Aww, thank you. I used to get jealous, but as my stack started growing, I would just get pumped up for whoever got the coin, and then I'd add it to my list of things to get. The jealousy only flares up if the Stakitus gets too bad. Ha ha.
I'm glad you liked the coin. :)

Glad you liked the coin! I didn't know a lot about Niue, so I had to look it up. Now you know about as much as I do. :P

I didn't know about it until I started collecting coins and saw it on a number of them. I had to look it up because I didn't know.

I have a few dragons (who doesn't love dragons?), including the above one. I like their unstopping search for the flame pearl.

I'm hoping that if my dragons can find the flaming pearl, and if my monkey can find the Black Pearl, that I can combine them and have the "flaming Black Pearl!" It's a pirate ship that is always on fire, but never sinks. It's faster than other ships because the heat generated creates power that's used to propel the ship. Also, it's really easy to roast marshmallows. :D

That is a very beautiful coin you purchased.
I have one question though: if it's fine silver why does it have a superficial "gold" color?
I am in Mexico right now and I'm finding some cool coins that are no longer in circulation. I want to write about them soon but I want to take a short breather. I just completed an article detailing the history of another city I visited here in Mexico. It took me less than 6 days to complete.

Poor lighting by the cameraman, aka me. I had been using a light that had too warm of a color, so something like silver came out looking gold. Sorry to mislead you.
That would be exciting to see your posts on some of the older Mexican coins. It's fun to get ones that aren't in circulation because they're much harder to for others to get them which normally means the value is higher.

Oh yes, I understand. I hate yellow light!
And yes, Mexico has circulated many commemorative coins which are no longer valid to use. I will search the search the house for more (I heard there are some secret stashes).
Please check in if you like! I always love when I post about something I'm interested in but know little about and more experienced people take a look as well! It would be an honor.

I'll have to work on getting a better light so it doesn't look as gold.
What houses do you have that you can search for secret stashes? I need to get one of those! :)

Our summer house in Mexico! No, I'm not rich haha. My grandpa left us this house. Not much has changed in it nor the village itself. It is full of curiosities. My direct male descendants were numismatists and I guess I was sort of born into the hobby as well. I promise today I will post about a truly unique "coin". Probably of a type you've never heard of.
