2024 Niue Hawksbill Turtle 2oz Silver Coin
The Hawksbill turtle, locally named Taku, is one of the two main turtle species of the South Pacific island nation of Fiji. Although they are widely distributed throughout the world’s tropical regions, Hawksbill Turtles are critically endangered due to human fishing practices. Taku grows to a metre in length and weighs 80 kg, although the heaviest on record weighed 127 kg.
DESIGN
The reverse features a Hawksbill Turtle (Taku) with a stylized shell pattern swimming through the waters of the Pacific Ocean along with the inscription “TURTLE”, the weight and fineness.
The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by designer Jody Clark as well as the monetary denomination and 2024 year-date.
