The Niue Hawksbill coin series is one of the younger options in the silver bullion marketplace, but it is also one of the most popular. A large part of its popularity is due to the beautiful design and continuous production of the coin, but its backstory is also worth knowing as the coin series started out with a different name and slightly different design. Today, 2017 ½ oz Silver New Zealand $1 Niue Hawksbill Turtle Coins are available to you for purchase online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you inside of a protective flip or tubes of 20.
  • 8th release of the Silver Hawksbill Turtle coin!
  • Consists of One-Half Troy ounce of .999 fine silver in BU condition.
  • Face value of $1.00 is fully backed by Niue’s government.
  • Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse.
  • The beloved Hawksbill turtle swims across the reverse.

When introduced in 2010, the Niue Hawksbill Coin was actually known as the Fiji Taku. The coins were originally offered by the New Zealand Mint for the nation of Fiji. Though the core tenet of the design was the same, that of the Hawksbill turtle swimming through bubbly ocean waters on the reverse, there were differences as well.

Instead of the modern engraving of “Turtle” on the left-hand side of the reverse field, the word “Taku” was engraved. Taku is the Fijian language word for turtle. The obverse had an entirely different design from 2010 to 2012. The Fijian coat of arms was featured. In 2013, the final year of the Fiji Taku, Queen Elizabeth II’s effigy by Raphael Maklouf was featured. Beginning in 2014, the coins were issued for Niue as the Silver Niue Hawksbill.

All 2017 ½ oz Silver New Zealand Niue Hawksbill Turtle Coins in this listing are in BU condition. Coins in BU condition show no signs of wear and tear, but imperfections are possible. You may notice breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks as a result of the production process.

The obverse of all Silver Niue Hawksbill Turtle Coins now features the fourth-generation depiction of Queen Elizabeth II. Captured in right-profile relief, this portrait was created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley.

On the reverse of the 2017 ½ oz Silver New Zealand Niue Hawksbill Turtle is the image of that namesake creature as it swims through the bubbles in the South Pacific. The creatures often migrate between the northern island of New Zealand and the islands of Niue as they seek mating grounds during mating season.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
