1 oz Ram of Calvary Niue 2023

Description

The reverse design features a beautifully detailed profile of a Ram facing the viewer. The Ram is strong and courageous, looking calmly straight forward. Above the Ram is Hebrew lettering of “ישוע” meaning Yeshua (Jesus). The Big Horn Ram is a traditional symbol for the Lamb of God and has ties throughout scripture to the Son of God starting in Genesis 22 where God miraculously provides a ram as a replacement sacrifice for Isaac. This is a direct metaphor for Jesus being sacrificed on the cross for mankind. Jesus’ crucifixion took place in the town of Calvary, thus Him being given the name “Ram of Calvary”.

Something that may go unnoticed by some is the hidden truth featured on every coin. This feature is a staple for every coin in the Truth series, and adds value for many customers as it helps prove authenticity. The truth is hidden on the horn of the ram and says “worship in the spirit” taken from John 4:24; the rest of this verse can be found in the other releases of the 2023 Truth Series. The specifications of the coin, including “ONE TROY OUNCE” and the extraordinary purity of “.9999 FINE SILVER,” are at the bottom of the reverse.

The obverse features the intricate public seal of Niue, the government which backs the legal tender of the Ram of calvary coin. On top, the denomination of “TWO DOLLARS” is stated, and under the seal the year of mintage “2023” is displayed.
