Niue: Fairy Tales – Blue Fairy Tale Colorized 1 oz Silver 2021 High Relief Antiqued Coin

The first issue in the new "Fairy Tales" series by the Lithuanian Mint has been struck from one ounce of 99.9% pure silver and is dedicated to the children's fairy tale "Blue Fairy Tale". The design depicts a colorized young girl falling into a fantasy world, surrounded by books, a globe, and other symbols of a realm of fantastical creatures.

"Blue Fairy Tale" tells the story of a girl who finds herself in the fantasy world of her own imagination. On her journey, she encounters talking animals and various magical creatures. Fantastic worlds allow us to detach from everyday problems and forget our worries for a moment. The fairy tale reflects the contrast between the carefree nature of childhood and the stressful life of adults.

The packaging is designed in a checkerboard pattern to emphasize the idea of a world of fantasy. The Blue Fairy Tale High Relief Antiqued coin is delivered in an original box along with a certificate of authenticity.

Obverse of the silver coin features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II", "NIUE", the face value, the silver fineness, and the year of issue. The obverse was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.

Reverse depicts a girl falling into a fantasy world; it is colorized, which creates an attractive contrast with the rest of the design.
