There might be some confusion as to this coin's origin, but it is tender for the Polynesian island of Niue, a tropical coral reef paradise under the government of New Zealand, hence the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo why is the reverse showing the Czech Republic? Well, Niue has no mint of its own, being basically a micronation in the middle of the south Pacific, so this coin was minted in the Czech Republic by commission. The regal crowned lion is the symbol of Bohemia, wearing the Crown of Saint Wenceslas.  He is complimented by a branch of linden, the Czech national tree. The obverse portrait of the Queen Mum is even outlined by the merged symbols of the eagle of Saint Wenceslas and the eagles of Moravia and Silesia, which together comprise the modern day Czech Republic lands. Like most of the Balkan peninsula, check back every few years to see where the borders have swapped to next.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the first true bullion coin minted in the Czech Republic.
