As told in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee in a boat with his disciples. They were suddenly met by a tremendous storm that sent the waters of the sea into a veritable frenzy that threatened the occupants of the boat. As the waves were breaking over the bow and the side of the boat, the disciples in the boat with him uttered, Teach, dont you care if we drown? At that, Jesus rose to his feet and said to the wild winds and waves, Quiet! Be still.

Obverse

The obverse design of the 2017 Niue Jesus Calms The Sea Biblical Series 2 oz Silver Coin features the 1984 right-profile portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This third-generation portrait was created by artist Raphael Maklouf for use on circulation and bullion coinage. The image was last used on circulation coinage in 1997.

Reverse

The reverse design of the 2017 Niue Jesus Calms The Sea Biblical Series 2 oz Silver Coin features the moment that Jesus rises up in the boat, to calm the raging storms and sea. Calm is restored to the waters of the Sea of Galilee. His act left his disciples shaken and asking who this man was, that even the wind and the waves deign to obey him.
