There is no moment more poignant in Christendom than the images surrounding Jesus Christ being nailed to the cross. Christ sacrificed himself to free mankind from its sins. His crucifixion allowed Gods followers to have a fresh start and a clean slate on their pathway to heaven. The 2017 Niue Nailing Christ to the Cross Biblical Series 2 oz Silver Coin shows the moment where stakes were nailed into the palms and feet of Christ. The imagery is raw and beautiful all at once. The coins are made from 2 Troy oz of .999 pure silver. With only 1,499 minted, these coins are very collectible.
Highlights:
Crucifixion was once a popular way to publicly execute and make an example out of those who disagreed with politicians and leaders, or those who otherwise challenged the status quo. Jesus Christ and his followers, with their positive tales of faith, definitely challenged the status quo. Crucifixion was an extended and painful way to execute someone. The blood loss from the spikes being nailed into the feet and hands were not the reason for death, but rather the slow asphyxiation resulting from the way that the body was hung on the cross.
Your 2017 Niue Nailing Christ to the Cross Biblical Series 2 oz Silver Coin is delivered in a Bible-themed display box. The included Certificate of Authenticity includes a serial number that is also etched onto the edges of the coin.

Reverse
The reverse design of the 2017 Niue Nailing Christ to the Cross Biblical Series 2 oz Silver Coin features the image of Christs body being nailed onto the cross. The spikes are driven into his hands and feet while Roman soldiers are depicted in the background holding back a crowd of protestors.
