The California Gold Rush of 1848 is the inspiration for the inaugural release of the Gold Rushes of the World collection: the 2016 1 oz Silver Niue Antiqued Prospector. This creative coin is composed of 1 troy oz .999 fine silver, features an antiqued, and holds a 24 karat gold flake inside an airtight capsule, making it an excellent way to expand your silver bullion collection from the New Zealand Mint.

The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse, as is customary of the New Zealand Mint. Above her, the golden flake is encased inside the coin. Below, the inscriptions “NIUE”, “2016”, “5 DOLLARS”, “1 OZ”, “.999 SILVER” indicate the qualities of the coin.

A California gold miner, often referred to as 48ers or 49ers (dependant on their year of arrival) kneels in a river, gathering gold into his sifting pan on the reverse; the gold flake contained inside the coin sits precisely where the pan would be. “CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH 1848” is displayed above the treeline in the field.
