Obverse

On the obverse face of each 2017 New Zealand $10 Niue Hawksbill Turtle 5 oz Silver Coin, you will see the image of Queen Elizabeth. In this particular depiction of the Queen, she is shown in right-profile relief. This design was created by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998, and it is the fourth-generation image of Her Majesty.

Reverse

The reverse face of these coins features the image of the hawksbill turtle. This species of marine turtle can be found in the tropical areas of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. They were named based on their narrow, pointed beak.

History

After the Fiji Taku coins were discontinued, Niue picked up the pieces and released the Niue Hawksbill Turtle Silver Coins with the same design in 2014. Since political instability had long plagued Fiji, the coin series was discontinued. Fortunately for collectors, the series was reintroduced with the only change being the issuing country.

These coins are minted by the New Zealand Mint, which also produced the Fiji version of the coins.
