Post of disappointment here, but some might like such things. (tradeable for a collectible silver bar At some stage Poland Mint, was the one I confused with NZ Mint. Looks like they did also acquire the rights to mint for Niue. Such generousity IMO wouldn't help to Niue coins brand image. Interesting points: *the thing shows signs of the toning *the words on the capsule indicate is was a part of a corporate order or just a corporate souvernir gifiting.
No on likes the Russian stuff post 1898 i can give you spot less 10% to take it off your hands But seriously nice hunk of silver
I don't even think it is 'Russian', but made for the Russian market. This type is quite annoying, I saw a few more of these: Niue dollars, minted by Poland and aimed at Russian market. Works due to gifting culture specifics, but probaly not collectible, unless there is an interest in the depicted history. Personally, I'd love to take a closer look at some coins from Belarus. At this stage, I only had several "icons" in silver. They were impressive, perfect gift for an orthodox religious person, IMO.
