2025 Niue 1 Dollar Silver Coin Hans Christian Andersen: The Little Mermaid
The Czech Mint continues its enchanting numismatic series dedicated to the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen with the second silver coin, featuring the world’s most beloved sea maiden The Little Mermaid.
This official 1 Dollar coin, issued under a foreign license of the island of Niue, combines artistic finesse with emotional depth. Designed by medal maker MgA. Petra Čánská, the reverse side captures a tender underwater moment: the Little Mermaid, with her strikingly red-coloured flowing hair, gazes wistfully at a sailboat drifting on the ocean surface above. Her dreamy expression and the vivid crimson strands illuminate the mysterious depths, bringing a poetic contrast to the dark seabed.
The obverse presents a delightful montage of Andersen’s most cherished tales. Tiny, intricately engraved scenes depict The Ugly Duckling, The Snow Queen, The Brave Tin Soldier, The Emperor’s Nightingale, The Princess and the Pea, and, of course, The Little Mermaid. A charming motif of children holding hands inspired by the cover of an original Andersen book compleves the composition, tying the miniature gallery together with nostalgic warmth.
Struck in fine silver, this legal-tender coin bears Niue’s national emblem, a face value of 1 DOLLAR (NZD), and the 2025 year of issue.
