HELIOS Divine Faces of the Sun 3 Oz 5 Dollars Silver Coin Niue 2022

A divine face of the sun

Helios is the Greek sun god who crosses the sky every day in a golden chariot drawn by fiery horses, seeing everything that happens on earth. The coin belongs to the Divine Faces of the Sun series by MINT XXI, which each year features a different sun deity from a different culture – from Egypt, Japan and Greece to India and the Slavic world.

Coin design

The god's face is covered by a gilded mask, the horses of his sun chariot race on both sides, and Helios holds an amber orb – the symbol of the sun – in his hands. Rich ornaments and rays fill the background. Everything is struck in high relief with an antique finish that brings out every detail. The obverse shows Queen Elizabeth II with NIUE ISLAND and FIVE DOLLARS, 3 oz, 2022 and Ag 999.

Packaging

The coin comes in a box with a certificate of authenticity.
