VISHNU Divine Faces of the Sun 3 Oz 5 Dollars Silver Coin Niue 2023

Guardian of the world's order

Vishnu is one of the most important deities of Hinduism – the preserver who sustains the universe and, according to tradition, descends to earth in successive incarnations to restore the balance between good and evil. Associated with the sun and light, he joins the Divine Faces of the Sun series by MINT XXI, alongside deities such as Amun Ra, Helios and Amaterasu.

Coin design

The reverse shows Vishnu facing forward, in a richly decorated crown, with several pairs of arms. In one of his hands sits a genuine amber insert shaped as the Sudarshana Chakra – his sacred discus – which glows beautifully in the light. Next to it are a gilded bell, a conch and a lotus flower, with a serpent hood above the god's head. Everything is struck in high relief with an antique finish that brings out every ornament. The obverse bears the seal of Niue with NIUE ISLAND, FIVE DOLLARS, 3 oz, 2023 and Ag 999.

Packaging

The coin comes in an elegant wooden box with a decorative sleeve, together with a MINT XXI certificate of authenticity.

Gift idea

For lovers of Indian culture, yoga and Eastern spirituality, collectors of coins with deities and mythology, or as a special gift – silver and amber together make a strong impression.
