Can anyone confirm this coin is real.

Got 10 of these 2022 Niue 1oz silver Columbus and The New World 1492 coins today from Monument Metals. They were supposed to be 1oz silver government coins. I cannot find this coin anywhere using the internet. It appears that a proof version with a different Columbus scene was made by the Czech Mint, but I cannot find this bullion coin. I had ordered another 10 coins, so probably receive 10 more of this coin. They don't even sell the coin on the MM website. Thanks.2022 Niue Columbus 1oz silver bullion coin.webp
 
Has 999.9 on the Columbus side and shows Niue on the Queen Elizabeth side. The proof coin I found online had a different design. If my jewelry scale is still working, I will try to weigh them tomorrow. The linked coin below is the actual proof version. Notice that the coin in the link has NIUE ISLAND and my coin has NIUE. Probably going to take these coins to a local coin dealer to test for authenticity.

 
I also purchased gov. mint silver at spot from Monument Metals and received these coins. You can find them on Goldco site. They were minted by Bulmint, a minter located in Bulgaria.

Thanks a lot Silvermute! I was able to find a description using AI and the Goldco listing (see link below). Monument Metals was clueless about the coins. First they wrote that the coins were minted by the British Royal Mint. When I informed them that the proof version was minted by the Czech, MM then stated I should contact the New Zealand Mint. My initial experiences with MM have been "interesting" to say the least.
