Equilibrium 2023 | 1oz silver | Niue

The 2023 Silver 1 oz Niue Equilibrium 1 oz BU coin from the New Zealand territory of Niue is an intriguing subject and a stunning design! The sixth coin in the Equilibrium coin series focuses on the topic of maintaining balance (equilibrium) in an increasingly technological world. According to the mint:
 
"Niue’s Equilibrium coin series pays tribute to a core principle of traditional Chinese thought. It’s the principle of action and reaction, the power of action and reception that is called the Yang and Yin, a complementary dynamic that stands at the heart of Chinese cosmology and philosophy, a fruitful paradox that allows the universe to self-create from the raw material of qi or chi. Yin and Yang are complementary forces that make the universe’s self-creation possible and govern innumerable dual processes apparent in nature, including light and shadow, fire and water, expansion and contraction, and many more."
 
The reverse depicts a taijitu symbol of yin and yang equilibrium, representing Taoism's religious and philosophical tradition (also called Daoism). The term "diagram of the supreme ultimate" refers to the Chinese concept of yin and yang, which are opposites that exist in harmony and peace. The image contains embedded decorative symbols that appear floral in design. It contains the inscriptions "EQUILIBRIUM" and "1 oz FINE SILVER 9999."
 
The obverse features the public seal of Niue with the inscriptions "NIUE 2023 . 2 DOLLARS." A plain border surrounds the rim.
