2023 Niue $2 1-oz Silver Hawksbill Turtle BU

Take A Ride On The Back Of A Hawksbill Turtle

For the record, "Taku" is not a misspelling for the word "taco." You're never going to see or hear an advertisement for "Taku Tuesday." But what you WILL see here is this buoyant coin that features the Hawksbill or "Taku" turtle, the 2023 release in the New Zealand Mint's annual Silver Turtle Bullion series. Plus, it also features the effigy of King Charles III on the obverse for the first time in the series!

Time To Party With The Hawksbill Turtle

Struck in full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this coin depicts a Hawksbill Sea Turtle swimming in the Pacific Ocean. Its massive shell glimmers brightly with a stylized shell pattern. The Turtle's head is half turned as if to say, "C'mon, Dude! The party's this way!" Also included in the design is the word "TURTLE" and the coin's metal weight and purity.

Housekeeping Service for the Coral Reef

Hawksbill turtles are the housekeeping service for coral reefs. These hungry aquatic reptiles help maintain the health of coral reefs by scouring the reef's surface of prey such as sponges and marine algae, a service that provides better access for reef fish to feed. Because of their long lifespan, Hawksbill turtles symbolize patience, wisdom, endurance, and good luck. They are also valuable tourist attractions and provide a vital source of income for people living in the Pacific Ocean's Coral Triangle.
